Bryan ISD School Board Approves Purchasing Online Monitoring Of School Buses & Expresses No Opposition To A Proposed Bus Replacement Schedule

Bryan ISD school board members approve the purchase of online monitoring of buses and express no opposition to the administration’s plan to schedule the replacement of buses. The cost of a pilot program to track buses, more than $261,000 dollars, will be paid from surplus money in BISD’s 2020 bond issue. BISD’s transportation director Brian Washington says this will benefit students, their parents, and bus drivers who will no longer have to read paper bus routes while they are driving. Click HERE to read and download presentation materials about the online bus monitoring pilot program that were shown at the June 15, 2026 Bryan ISD school board meeting. Washington’s proposed bus replacement program is to ensure BISD buses are driven for no more than 15 years. Washington’s proposed use of new buses from year one to year five will be for out of district trips. Year six through ten, the bus will move to in-district routes. And after ten years buses will be used on a substitute basis. Washington also said BISD currently has 40 buses that do not have seat belts, which is a state requirement that starts in 2019.
