Parent Letter
 
Dear Parents/Guardians and Bus Riders:


The Midlothian Independent School District offers the privilege of bus transportation to and from school as a courtesy service for all eligible students in the district. Eligible students are defined by the state as those who reside at least two miles from the school they attend as measured by the nearest practical route.

Effective transportation service requires the cooperation among bus drivers and staff, administrators, students, and parents/guardians. We believe that our bus service enhances the learning experiences of each student. Every effort will be made to promote safe, comfortable and pleasant transportation service, while maintaining an appropriate level of efficiency.

In order to meet the conditions as outlined by the State and promote safe, prompt movement of all eligible students, Midlothian ISD has student Bus Safety Guidelines and Bus Rules which are included in the School Bus Riders Safety Handbook. We ask that you read and discuss the contents of this handbook with your student so he or she has a clear understanding of the responsibility and expectations of riding the school bus.


Please contact the Transportation Office at 972-775-1805 if there are any questions or concerns about the Midlothian ISD transportation system. Thank you for your cooperation and support regarding the care and safety of all our children.

 

Deanna Cannon
Transportation Manager
