Transportation -- If a student is suspended from the bus and the bus transportation is a related service in the student’s IEP, is the school required to provide the student with another form of transportation?

If transportation is a related service in the student’s IEP, the school must provide a different form of transportation to transport the student to and from school (i.e. van).  An agreement can be made between the school and parent, authorizing the parent to bring the student to and from school.  If this agreement is made, the school must then reimburse the parent for mileage at the same rate at which school employees are reimbursed.
