Robbinsdale Area Schools is entering the fifth year of its opt-in transportation system. The past four school years have demonstrated the opt-in system works because it helps decrease the number of routes while increasing efficiency in our transportation system.

Early results show promising gains, particularly among students who entered the year behind in reading.
