Stops are established for neighborhoods, and students are expected to walk a short distance to the neighborhood stop. The typical regular education route serves more than one school and makes more than one trip. The first trip may serve an elementary or middle school with the second serving a high school.
Some routes serve the same school more than once.
The first trip arrives early, carrying the students on the free breakfast program, while the second trip brings the students who are not in the program. According to the coordinator of Transportation, the regular education routes generally remain stable from year to year. Some adjustments to the routes, however, have been required to accommodate the district's growth. The coordinator of Transportation said that most of this growth is occurring north of I-10. For the 1997-98 school year, one new elementary school was added in this area.
