Transportation

Once your children are registered at an NBISD campus, their information is forwarded to the Transportation Department to determine if they are bus eligible. If  eligible they will then be assigned to a bus route. This process will take hours or days depending on the time of year and number of enrollments. Please call your  child's campus to receive this information.

Public school transportation is governed by Texas Education Code, Sec. 42.155. Under this code, a "Regular eligible student" means a student who resides two  or more miles from the student's campus of regular attendance, measured along the shortest route that may be traveled on public roads, and who is not classified  as a student eligible for special education services. The school district may apply for and on approval of the commissioner receive an additional amount of up to 10  percent of its regular transportation allotment to be used for the transportation of children living within two miles of the school they attend who would be subject  to hazardous traffic conditions if they walked to school. Each Board of Trustees shall provide to the commissioner the definition of hazardous conditions  applicable to that district and shall identify the specific hazardous areas for which the allocation is requested. A hazardous condition exists where no walkway is  provided and children must walk along or cross a freeway or expressway, an underpass, an overpass or a bridge, an uncontrolled major traffic artery, an industrial or commercial area, or another comparable condition.

Only if your child has an approved "Request for Alternate Transportation" on file at the transportation office and at his or her campus office. View the Alternate Transportation Letter and Request here.
