Needham METCO Transportation Information 


The Needham Public School district is pleased to offer school bus privileges at no cost for the school year. It is the expectation of the Needham Public Schools and the Needham METCO Program that all parents and students comply with the district transportation policies and procedures.

School bus safety is a primary concern of the METCO Department and Needham Public Schools. Please be aware that the school bus is an extension of the school itself, and rules regarding behavior are the same as in school. Failure to comply with the policies and rules will result in disciplinary action.
