She added, “Just to ease the burden of the school buses and the school bus drivers.”Just like campuses and classrooms, school buses have to adapt to COVID-19.

(KPRC)Cleveland ISD: Fastest-growing districtWe heard nearly identical plans when visiting the fastest-growing school district in the state -- Cleveland ISD. The district will also try to disinfect buses between routes and then the buses would be fogged with disinfectant at the end of each day.

The question: Will bus service be available for students who need it? The answer: Depending on the district, bus service will be available for students who require it, but be prepared to see additional safety procedures such as frequent cleaning, social distancing practices and lots of hand sanitizer. Buses will also have all windows opened to provide ventilation, and students will also be required to wear masks while riding the bus. Districts such as Spring ISD and Clear Creek ISD will provide bus transportation for students, but they must notify their school beforehand. YES Prep and KIPP Texas Schools will provide transportation, but social distancing will be enforced even at the bus stop.
