Buses and drivers haven't kept pace with district growth. The district has a bus rodeo, which is a competition to see how well bus drivers operate their buses. Maybe only 12 percent participate. I saw a school bus run a red light. Parents complain about not picking up their kid if they live outside the route.
Buses are old.
The district needs to look at zoning for bus pick-ups. The district needs better coordination to address Fort Hood's needs so resources are used effectively. Bus drivers do not always know where they are going, especially for sporting events. The communication to parents on their child being absent is not consistent. There are monitors on the buses.
