My only other suggestion is to contact the school BUS system, now, and expect to invoke ADA with every breath, in order to get her short-term accommodation (on a short bus, here in CA.)
Our school PICKUP was exactly a mile from the house for a kindergartener, who went to a magnet school, so the district rule was to pick up at "local" address- and because we were at the mile limit, it was the school he should have attended-- BUT they insisted a parent or guardian be present at both pickup and dropoff.
I had a todder in tow. I have CP and waking issues. NOW major walking issues. So I was walking four MILES each day, and the school was NOT changing the pickup. I fought all the way up the state Ed ladder, bussing, calls to my representatives for a MONTH, but it was a permanent change in sites- to the church a block away from my house.
BUT-- AND I KID YOU NOT-- I could've had HIS site and bus temporarily changed due to an injury (like he broke a leg) inside a week. They had arrangements in place for that, but WOULD NOT renew after the temporary time limit expired.
BTW, tell Cordelia that this story is one the oldest dosn't WANT me to tell unless it's important. THIS is important. SHE is important, and I can picture you riding up the phone and email flags until you get what you need for her. Fortunately, BEING a temporary change may make this much simpler for you.
