Basic Eligibility Requirements Include
a. A student must legally reside two or more miles from his/her assigned campus as measured along the shortest route.
"Klein ISD follows the recommendation of the Texas Education Agency for distance measurements as outlined in the School Transportation Allotment Handbook. Specifically, KISD measures the shortest route that can be traveled on public roads from the driveway or nearest property line of the student's legal residence and the nearest entrance of the campus."
b. A student legally resides less than two miles from his/her assigned campus; and the only route to and from school via a street or road requires the student to walk along or cross a major thoroughfare.
For purposes of eligibility, a major thoroughfare is a heavily traveled mainly nonresidential area road, with traffic essentially controlled by traffic lights, and generally four lanes in width. A determination may be made by the school administration that a segment of road satisfies this definition.
The preceding is subject to availability of buses and bus capacity requirements as determined by the Texas Education Agency. For additional information on State guidelines for student rider eligibility requirements, please click on the link below.
