Transportation Changes Set for 2013-14 School Year

Disponible en: Español

Aldine ISD’s Transportation Department will continue to implement the two-mile rule during the 2013-2014 school year.

The state-approved two-mile rule allows public school districts in Texas to withhold bus service to students who live within two miles of their home campus.

During the 2012-13 school year, a number of construction projects in Houston and Harris County compelled the district to provide bus service to a number of students who would otherwise not qualify due to the two-mile rule. The district was concerned with those students getting to and from school safely due to the construction projects. Now that those projects are complete, the district will re-instate the two-mile rule, which will affect students attending the following Aldine ISD schools. The changes will go into effect beginning on the first day of school, which is set for Monday, Aug. 26.
