Guidelines Governing Student Conduct While on Austin ISD School Buses   

Students riding or waiting on an AISD school bus is under the supervision of the Austin schools the same as if they are in the school building or on the school grounds, and therefore, are subject to the district's student disciplinary policies. Families are encouraged to discuss with their students the information below, including the consequences for rule violations.

Safety is in Everyone's Best Interest

Austin ISD has partnered with BusPatrol to commence a full fleet school bus safety program to protect all students on the ride to and from school

Stop-arm cameras are installed at a key location on the exterior of each Austin ISD school bus. When a school bus extends its stop-arm, the system can automatically detect if a vehicle passes the stopped school bus within the enforced zone.

Late Activity Bus Routes

AISD provides bus transportation to students who participate in after-school activities at the majority of the district’s middle and high schools.

Effective for the 2017–18 school year, the transportation team sets up routes for students based on their afternoon bus stop assignments. Schools can see the evening assignment in the system to direct students to their late activity bus.
