Big shift for Austin families this school year: Austin ISD is switching up bus routes to help close a nearly $20 million budget gap. Instead of neighborhood stops, students at four major magnet schools will now catch the bus at the nearest middle or high school transportation hub. The district says this could mean less time on the bus and more savings, but it also means parents may need to adjust their morning routines. How do you feel about these changes? Will this make your mornings easier or tougher? Let’s talk about it! #Transportation #AustinISD #SchoolBus
