Dear Parents/Guardians,

Designated bus stops are created where the public access road intersects with private roads, unpaved roads, non-county adopted roads and private properties; Board Policy, CNA (Legal).  San Benito C.I.S.D. buses will not travel unto unpaved roads, partial-unpaved roads, private properties, and or other roads that are near canals, resacas, nor an area that does not have an open-wide safe space, for a complete turn-around. 

As we prepare to provide our students and staff with transportation services for 2024-2025 School year, we have developed a plan with the well-being of everyone as our top concern.  Register your child for transportation services by accessing Family Access on Skyward.
