CTE Shuttles
-
For students enrolled in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Magnet program, courses will be taught from a CTE Center. The West Ada School District currently has three centers located at Centennial High School, Meridian High School and Renaissance High School. To accommodate all students, the West Ada School District will provide bussing from each zoned-home high school to all three centers and back. Shuttles run the entire school year in the morning and afternoons on both A and B days. For ease of access, shuttles will pickup and drop off students in designated high school bus loading zones.Students may choose to self-transport, but must commit to driving themselves for the duration of the CTE class. Once bussing has been established, special accomidations will not be made. For students who choose to self transport, a 'Self Transportation' form must be submitted to the home high school. In addition, student drivers must visibly display a CTE sticker while on campus at a CTE Center. CTE parking stickers are distributed once all transportation paperwork is submitted.

Are you an Eagle, Central or Meridian Academy student?
-
Students who attend a Central, Eagle or Meridian Academy, will ride zoned-home high school shuttles to the CTE Center if they are scheduled for morning classes, with a shuttle returning to the Academy for their afternoon classes. If Academy students are scheduled for a CTE afternoon class, then a CTE shuttle is arranged to bring them to the CTE Center. After class, students ride a zoned-home high school shuttle back at the end of the day. They do not return to the Academy therefore, students need to bring with them anything they wish to bring home from school to their off-campus CTE class.
