Your child should arrive at the stop at least ten minutes before the regular arrival time of the bus. If there is a substitute driver, the times may not be absolutely consistent with the regular times. If the bus is late, ask your child to remain at the stop. Buses break down, roads are blocked, drivers become ill or have emergencies, but there will always be a bus at every stop. If the wait becomes extreme (approximately 30 minutes), please call The Georgetown ISD Transportation Department at 512-943-5126. 

School bus sizes are stated in terms of passenger capacity for elementary students. It is assumed that elementary school students will ride three per seat. Middle school students are assumed to ride two to three per seat. High school students are assumed to ride two per seat. If the bus has three elementary school students, two to three middle school students, or two high school students in each seat, it will seem crowded but it will not be over capacity. It is our goal to fully utilize all the space on all the buses in our fleet. 

Bus stops are placed at centralized locations that can be safely accessed by a significant number of students and to minimize the time length an mileage of the run. If you have concerns about your child's safety you are encouraged to accompany your child to the bus stop or arrange a neighborhood buddy to walk with your child. Elementary school students may be required to walk on average up to .20 miles (1056 feet) to a bus stop if the area permits. Middle school and High school students may be required to walk on average up to .50 miles (2640 feet) to a bus stop if the area permits.
