District policy states that Round Rock ISD does not provide bus transportation to students who live within two miles of their home campus; however, routes are reviewed and graded on hazardous conditions. If a route meets certain hazardous requirements, the district will provide student transportation to their home campus.
District staff has prepared several possible hazardous transportation adjustment scenarios that address updated service due to roadway changes at existing campuses. These scenarios will be presented to the public at a series of hazardous transportation hearings in accordance with Board Policy. The Hearing for Herrington ES currently scheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the following location:
- April 18 - Stony Point HS (Herrington Elementary hearing)
Hazardous transportation is reviewed to update service due to roadway and school assignment changes in the district. The opening of Herrington Elementary affects the Old Settlers neighborhoods above Old Settlers Park and the Paloma Lake subdivision. There are also several areas that have walkway changes since the last hazardous transportation review that will potentially no longer qualify for bus service.
Public input is also welcomed at the April 21, 2011 regular board meeting where the board will discuss feedback from these hearings. A final recommendation is expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees at a special called meeting in May 2011 for approval of the boundary changes.
