HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Monday marks the first day of school for the largest school district in Texas — Houston ISD.
On Sunday evening, the district said it was still working to assign bus routes for around 700 students.
HISD said students who have not been assigned a route may get on a bus at any stop or route that is for their campus.
The district said bus drivers were told to pick students up and drop them off, even if they were not assigned to a route or stop.
Parents were told to call one of HISD’s transportation services helplines by 7 a.m. for bus route assistance. The district reportedly reached out to all impacted families.
The Transportation Customer Service main phone number is 713-556-5963.
The district says it expects “all students to be assigned a permanent stop within 72 hours of their entry into the transportation assignment system.”
