Private Bus Service 2022-2023
The following is a summary of the proposed bus service for the 2022-2023 school year. We will determine the exact times, and stops based on the demand for this service. The routes, vehicle size, and costs associated are based on the number of students who register for the program. Morning departure from the first stop is around 6:20 a.m. with an arrival time of about 7:20 a.m. to Malden Catholic. Our Transportation provider is currently working with limited vehicles and drivers so all routes are subject to change. The proposed routes are listed below.

Departing Routes: The afternoon school buses will leave Malden Catholic at 5:15 p.m. The routes will run in reverse from the morning schedule
Please note that the bus schedule does not change for early dismissals or late starts. The only time we alter the schedule is for finals week. So a snow delay would only be for school hours, the buses will still run on normal schedules, there will be people at the school when the buses arrive.
The proposed cost of the private service is as follows: (subject to change based on registrations)
- $1500.00 per student for the full year, round trip
- $750.00 per student for the full year, morning only ($375.00 per semester)
- $750.00 per student for the full year, afternoon only ($375.00 per semester)
Malden Catholic covers over 50% of the costs to run this program.
It is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
