SSISD Clarifies Rules For Student Bus Transportation

September 11, 2024 – Effective Monday, September 16, 2024, SSISD Transportation Department will only provide before and after school bus services for students to and from their place of residence (or designated bus stop). Public school districts in the state of Texas receive funds allotted for the transportation of students from home to school or from school to home.  These funds cannot be used to transport students to a destination other than their place of residence or designated bus stop.  In some cases, a student may qualify to be transported to a grandparent residence. Students cannot be dropped off at a parent’s workplace, dance class, medical appointment, etc.  

Separate from this not being allowable transportation costs for reimbursement, it poses a safety hazard for our students. Thank you for your continued support as we work to ensure the highest level of safety standards for our Wildcats.
