OSSE Parent Portal
Submit Your Child’s Transportation Preferences Online
The OSSE Parent Portal is a user-friendly online platform for families of students with active individualized education programs (IEPs) and 504 forms that include transportation services so that parents can directly submit their transportation preferences for the Extended School Year 2025-26 and School Year 2026-27.
In the Parent Portal, parents/guardians can choose their child’s preferred transportation service and provide specific pick-up and drop-off addresses.
Transportation Options in the Portal
Parents and guardians will choose one of the following options:
- Will Not Need Transportation
- “My student will not use any OSSE transportation services.”
- Parent Stipend Program
- “I will apply for a $400 monthly stipend for transporting my student to and from their enrolled school.”
- Note:
- If you’re currently enrolled in the 2024–25 Parent Stipend Program, you must still submit your preference in the OSSE Parent Portal to confirm participation for 2025–26.
- Required documentation must be uploaded in the portal.
- Monthly attendance will be verified to maintain stipend eligibility.
- OSSE-DOT Transportation
- “OSSE’s Division of Student Transportation (OSSE-DOT) will provide transportation for my student to and from their enrolled school (via yellow school bus or OSSE-designated vehicle). I will provide updated address details in the portal.”
