Non-transported Boundary Change - From the Pupil Transportation Office
The following are changes that will be made to Centennial High School for the 2020/21 school year.
As outlined in Board of Education Policy 5200, Pupil Transportation:
1)Transportation services will be provided to students when the distance between their home and the home school is greater than the following:
a)Grades 9 through 12: 1.5 miles
2)The bona fide residence of the parent/guardian will be used to determine eligibility for transportation services. Distances will be calculated as follows:
a)Detached homes and townhouses – Measurements will be from the residence property line to the property line of the school.
b)Apartment complexes and condominiums – Measurements will be from the entrance to the building to the property line of the school.
In preparation for this change, the Transportation office consulted with the Howard County Traffic Engineering Office to review the walking route as a result of improvements made to Old Annapolis Rd. A crosswalk is being installed on Old Annapolis Rd at Whitworth Way. This crosswalk makes it acceptable for students to cross Old Annapolis Rd.
The following streets will now be included in the non-transportation zone.
A new map depicting this change will be reflected on the HCPSS school information website and the school and bus locator application will be updated.
