More Information

Adaptive Equipment

Child Safety Restraint Systems (CSRS) are required by Texas law to be used by students younger than 4 years old OR less than 36 inches in height. Only 5-point STAR seats that are provided by CSISD will be utilized. For students unable to use a CSRS, 3-point seatbelts are mandatory.

Lift Equipped Buses transport students and their mobility equipment. All wheelchairs will be secured in a forward facing position. The wheelchairs will be anchored to the bus floor and the lap tray will be removed and properly stowed prior to transport. The Department will not be responsible for transporting empty wheelchair(s) to and from school and home.

Eligibility

Transportation is available for children who live two miles or more from their assigned school. The distance a student lives from their assigned school is measured using the shortest route that may be traveled on publicly maintained roads between the flagpole of the campus and the nearest driveway of the student's legal residence. Students residing within two miles of their assigned school may have transportation available if their neighborhood qualifies as hazardous under the district's hazardous transportation rating system. Check your eligibility.

Some students who participate in vocational programs or classes not offered at their school are transported between schools. Special education students are eligible for transportation if need is established through the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) process.

Scheduling: Policies and Procedures

Special Needs Routing

The goal for Special Needs Routing is to have no student on the bus for more than 1 hour.

Pick-up and drop-off sequence and times are based on the student's proximity to the school and the medical needs of the students assigned to the route.

CSISD Transportation Department provides pick-up and drop-offs that are the closest and safest for Special Education students eligible to receive special needs transportation. It is the parent/caregiver responsibility to meet the bus at the curb to transfer custody of the student.
