Typically the routing process begins in July after the student records are rolled into their new grade level. Between 200 to 300 Alteration of Service Requests are processed between this time and the start of the school year. All alternate route submissions should be completed by August 15th, 12PM to ensure accurate routes. Beginning around August 16th the routes are balanced and finalized for communication through Family Access. The goal is to communicate the final routes ten days before school begins.
