Happy Holidays
Wishing everyone a fantastic holiday season with a spectacular New Year.
Toy Drives
Two of our Service Centers had amazing toy drives for children in need during this season of giving.
North Dallas Service Center and Lawnview Service Center collected lots of toys and gifts. Thank you to those who contributed and helped brighten a child's holiday. Below are some pictures of this incredible act of generosity.
Superintendent and Chief Visit the Lawnview Service Center
On November 29, 2023 Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde visited the Lawnview Service Center. She was joined by our Chief, David Bates in handing out Gatorade and snacks for the afternoon shift. Dr. Elizalde expressed her sincere gratitude to the drivers and monitors at Lawnview for the service that is provided not only at Lawnview but throughout all of the service centers. Thank you Dr. Elizalde and Chief Bates for the visit.
Kleberg Service Center
Last month, the "graveyard" at the Kleberg Service Center was paved as well as some additional space for parking of personal vehicles. This means we are making advancement with some of changes that are to come prior to the beginning of the 2024 - 2025 school year. Additional space has been cleared at other locations in DISD as well. This means we are getting closer to move forward with construction plans for Student Transportation Services. More information to follow.
New Buses
DISD Fleet Services is getting ready to order well over 100 new buses to add to our STS fleet. These buses will include 30 passenger and 77 passenger buses. The expectation is to phase out some of the 900 series and the 1000 series buses. An order will be submitted prior to going on break and the new buses will arrive as soon as the manufacturer is able to send them our way. We look forward to having some new buses soon.
Extra Duty Work
The service centers have been cleared to have some extra duty work during the holiday break. Please check with the Service Center administration
