Special Education Transportation

Parent Help Sheet Form

Special Education transportation originates at the campus level.

Transportation uses your student’s most recent IEP (Individualized Education Plan), created by the ARD (Admission, Review, Dismissal) committee to determine the pick up and drop off location of your student.

Once the ARD committee determines a student qualifies for special transportation, they will update the IEP and notify the Transportation Department. All changes must be noted in the IEP before transportation can make the changes.

  • After a transportation request has been received from the school, transportation will contact the parent to verify the information on the request.

  • Transportation may take up to ten school days to begin after transportation verifies the information with the parent/guardian.

  • Within ten school days the parent/guardian will receive an email with transportations rules and regulations, along with a parent help sheet.

  • Please sign up for MY RIDE to get the updated bus information each day. Transportation will be contacting you through MY RIDE with changes to your child’s route after the initial transportation begins. At the beginning of each school year, you will be able to see your new schedules in MY RIDE. Please remember to enable the push notifications on the app.

If your child will not ride the bus on a given day, it is imperative that you call dispatch at 469.633.6155 to cancel the bus as soon as possible.

All changes to your child’s transportation, cancellation such as a  pick-up or drop off location, change of address, etc. must come through the campus. Please contact your child’s campus and they will facilitate the change with the Transportation Department

Any change may take up to 10 school days to activate the requested change in service.
