School-Chartered Buses (School Pupil Activity Buses – SPAB)

The NCSIG will establish guidelines regarding use of school-chartered buses.

The NCSIG will develop a list of pre-approved charter bus companies. This list will be re-underwritten annually by NCSIG to ensure continued compliance with the initial underwriting criteria as listed on the school-chartered bus application. Failure to meet the underwriting requirements will result in immediate removal from the pre-approved school-chartered buses list.

Companies not on the pre-approved list are not eligible to provide service for NCSIG school districts. Districts or vendors may initiate the application process. Any district using a non-approved vendor will be held responsible for paying NCSIG’s full self-insured retention amount into the Northern California Region Liability Excess Fund (NCR) program.
