Students will be provided bus transportation to and from school by the Klein Independent School District if they individually meet the state's guidelines for eligibility (two or more miles from the school the student attends.) If a student resides in a subdivision, neighborhood, or on acreage that does not have a common border with a school campus serving the student’s grade level, or if the common border is a major thoroughfare, the student shall be provided transportation subject to the availability of buses and bus capacity requirements as determined by the Texas Education Agency.
