You have up to 60 days after your field trip to request reimbursement to aid in the cost of bus transportation. An attached invoice from your bus transport service will be required at the time of submission.

You may be reimbursed up to $250 per bus. This can be applied only for the transport of students who are currently participating in ZooED. Please do not include additional non-ZooED classes who are accompanying you in your reimbursement request.

Only ONE teacher needs to fill out a request form for your group, but please include ALL ZooED teachers names on the form.

*Filling out a bus reimbursement form does NOT guarantee that your request will be granted. You will be notified if there are any issues with your request.*
Before submitting your bus reimbursement form, make sure you have completed the following steps:
1. Reviewed our policies about active teacher status. If you have any questions about your status please email: zooed@fotzkc.org
2. Be ready to attach your bus transportation invoice. You will not be able to request reimbursement without an invoice from your bus transportation service.
3. Submit your form no later than 60 days after the date of your field trip.
4. Once submitted, allow three weeks for your request to be processed.

What If I'm Considered Inactive?
Inactive teachers may still receive ZooED curriculum materials, a free Zoomobile program, and free field trip admission! You are just ineligible for a bus stipend for that school year.
