You can also find a link to Murray City’s Precinct Map, which is helpful for voting for elected members of the Board of Education.

To check your student's busing eligibility, please click this link and enter your address. It's important to note that not all schools provide busing services; for instance, Grant, Liberty, McMillan, and Viewmont Elementary Schools are considered "walking schools." However, in accordance with Utah law, busing for special education is provided when determined necessary by a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP), regardless of distance. For any busing questions, you can contact Jeannie DelRio at 801-264-7410 or jdelrio@murrayschools.org. For special education busing arrangements, please contact Emily Bird, Director of At-Risk Programs, at 801-264-7400 or ebird@murrayschools.org.

In accordance with Utah law, specifically Utah State Board of Education Rule 277-600-5, Murray City School District provides bus transportation for students with disabilities when their Individualized Education Program (IEP) team determines that it is a necessary related service. This transportation is provided regardless of the student's distance from the school. For specific arrangements or questions regarding special education busing, families should contact the Director of At-Risk Programs, Emily Bird, at 801-264-7400 or ebird@murrayschools.org.

In Utah, school districts are required to provide busing services only to students who live a certain distance from their school. According to Utah law (specifically Utah Code §53F-2-403 and Utah Administrative Rule R277-600), bus transportation is provided for elementary students (K-6) who live at least 1.5 miles from their assigned school.

In Murray City School District, Grant, Liberty, McMillan, and Viewmont Elementary Schools—are designated as "Walking Schools" because the majority of their student population lives within this 1.5-mile walking zone. Therefore, busing services are not provided for these schools, as they fall within the state-mandated walking distance.

The Murray City School District's Bus Safety Policy is designed to ensure the safe transportation of students. It outlines that riding the bus is a privilege, not a right, and that students must follow established rules and the bus driver's instructions. Failure to comply can result in the loss of bus riding privileges. Please review all of our Bus Safety Pollcy to help us enforce these standards, and ensure your student(s) has a positive transportation experience.

The Murray City School District provides a clear process for students who need to repair a damaged Chromebook. If a device is broken, students should report the damage to their school secretary. After the device is submitted for repair, a loaner will be issued to ensure the student can continue their classwork. Repair costs may be incurred if the damage is not covered by insurance or is deemed intentional, and these fees can be paid online.

Chromebook Repair Process

If your Chromebook is broken, here’s how to get it repaired:

1. Report the Damage: Take your damaged Chromebook to the school secretary. At Murray High School, see Linda Harris on the second floor.

2. Submit for Repair: The secretary will send the device to be repaired

3. Get a Loaner: While your Chromebook is being repaired, your teacher will provide you with a loaner device to use in class.

Repair Costs

If a student’s family did not purchase insurance or if the IT department determines the damage was intentional, an invoice for the repair cost will be attached to the Chromebook. Parents can pay this fee online through the RevTrak payment system. Go here to see a Chromebook Replacement Parts Price List.
