Routes and Eligibility

The Texas Educational Agency defines the parameters of bus eligibility. In general, a student K-12 must live 2 or more miles from their assigned school to be eligible for regular education school bus transportation to and from school. The 2-mile measurement is measured from the driveway to the school flag pole using the shortest route that may be traveled on publicly maintained (not private) roads.  There is also a provision for limited funding of transportation provided to regular eligible students who live fewer than two miles from their campus if they live in an area designated as a hazardous traffic area by the school board.  All other areas within this 2-mile zone, we will call the parent responsibility zone.

Regular transportation is not available for pre-K Students or students who transfer to a school other than their assigned school.

All Sanger ISD bus riders must register with the Transportation Department every school year.

Each of our bus stops are designed after a careful study of many aspects including demographics, walking distances to stops and ridership in your area. The overall safety of the stop placement is the most important factor considered.
