A family in the Northside Independent School District is concerned about their child's safety due to the district's transportation policy. The district transports around 40,000 eligible students by bus each year. However, students living within a two-mile distance of their campus are not eligible for bus transportation, unless extenuating circumstances apply.

This rule has affected an 11-year-old boy, whose mother is worried about his safety. The district's policy does not change based on the student's age. The Texas Education Agency has outlined expectations for districts regarding the two-mile radius.

Further details about this situation are available from KSAT 12, including a statement from the district and the family's experience with the transportation policy.
