Collinsville Unit 10 School District provides free bus transportation for students through a private contractor, First Student. The district is required to transport all students living 1.5 miles or more from their schools. Free transportation services for special education students are provided if included in the student’s individualized education plan. Non-public students are transported in accordance with state law.
