Carroll Independent School District (CISD) is making it easier for parents to secure student transportation by offering discounted bus pass rates for the 2025–26 school year available only through Monday, July 14.

📅 How It Works

• Discount period: Now until July 14
• Post-discount pricing: Regular full-price rates apply after this date
• Passes can be purchased online, in person at the Transportation Department, or via mail

💲 Cost Breakdown

While CISD has not yet released official numbers for 2025–26, last school year’s rates give us a strong indication of pricing:

These rates reflect a $25 savings per individual pass and $25 per student overall on family passes by purchasing before July 14

📝 What Parents Need to Do

• Complete the Bus Rider Contract and Registration Form
• Pay by credit card (plus 4% + $0.25 processing fee), cash, or check
• New riders must ensure forms are submitted before the pass is issued
• Expect delivery of the pass (resembling a luggage tag) to your student’s campus within 5 business days after school starts

🚍 Why CISD Charges for Bus Service

Unlike many Texas districts, Carroll ISD does not receive state funding for transportation. For the 2024–25 school year alone, the district faced a $1.2 million annual loss in transportation operations. To offset these costs, a 20% increase in bus pass prices was approved last year.

✅ Why Buy Early?

Purchasing your child’s bus pass before July 14 ensures you:

1. Save money compared to regular pricing
2. Secure a seat—sales depend on route capacity
3. Beat the rush before the school year begins

🔔 Quick Reminders

• Deadline: July 14 (after this date, full-price rates apply)
• Forms & payment: Must accompany all new riders
• Distribution: Bus passes arrive ~5 days into school
• Seat availability: Purchase early to guarantee your spot

It’s a smart move for Carroll families—get your discounted bus pass today to ensure a smooth ride into the new school year!
