After debate about equity and efficiency, trustees approved a hybrid plan that adopts hub-based transportation with at least one hub at Blanton Elementary and neighborhood runs in portions of the attendance zone; the motion passed unanimously.

Trustees on April 9 approved a modified transportation plan to support families affected by the upcoming closure of Blanton Elementary. Administration outlined three options: (1) provide only transportation that meets the district's two-mile eligibility, (2) establish hub stops to ferry families to new campuses, or (3) run neighborhood routes that pick up students closer to home.
