Temporary Busing to Overflow Campuses
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.
Families may provide transportation or have their students ride the bus to and from the overflow campus if they are eligible. Eligible students will be assigned a route that is visible in the My Ride K-12 app.
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.
Elementary students will get bus cards from the overflow campus before riding the bus.

The following campuses are closed to new student enrollment and have transportation available for students that meet the eligibility requirements.
| Closed Enrollment Campus | Overflow Campus |

Temporary Transportation Logistics
Eligible 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.
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.
