Temporary Busing to Overflow Campuses
Frisco ISD provides free transportation to students who are required to attend an overflow campus. Families may provide transportation or have their students ride the bus to and from the overflow campus. If you live more than two miles from your zoned campus (not the overflow campus) there may be a bus stop in your residential area that you can use.
If your student does not automatically assign to a bus stop, and you feel your student is eligible, please reach out to routing@friscoisd.org.
Overflow campuses are needed temporarily when the zoned home campus reaches capacity and is closed to additional enrollment. Typically, closed campuses reopen in 1-2 years after attendance boundary modifications are approved. Once the home campus can resume enrolling new students, traditional transportation policies go into effect.
Elementary students will get bus cards from the overflow campus before riding the bus.
Middle school students will get a bus card from their driver on the first day they ride the bus.

Temporary Transportation Logistics
Students are responsible for being at the closed enrollment campus at the appropriate time for them to ride the bus to the overflow campus.
The bus will return students to the closed enrollment campus at the end of the school day.
New students who live more than two miles from their home-zoned, closed-enrollment campus can sign up to ride the bus from a designated bus stop location to the overflow campus.
If the student lives within two miles from the zoned school, they should automatically assign, through the My Ride K-12 app, to the shuttle bus that is campus to campus.
If the student does not assign to a bus stop, please email routing@friscoisd.org
Two-Mile Rule
The distance a student lives from their home zoned campus is determined by measuring from the school's flagpole to the curb in front of their home, and vice versa, using the shortest traversable path (car, bike or walk). Families who feel they qualify for FISD-provided transportation are encouraged to follow the process outlined on the bus eligibility webpage.
