The adjusted elementary bell schedule will help alleviate transportation challenges related to route times and driver shortages. Effective August 2022, elementary campuses will fall under one of three tiers: </span><br></p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Tier A (7:50 a.m. – 3 p.m.)</li><li>Mid-Tier (8:10 a.m. – 3:20 p.m.) </li><li>Tier B (8:30 a.m. – 3:40 p.m.)</li></ul><p style="text-align:justify;">“In an effort to maximize bus routes, minimize service delays and accommodate for our current driver shortage, the adjusted elementary bell schedule is a mechanism to assist the Transportation Department in improving the services it offers eligible bus riders," said Ted Vierling, Chief of Operations at Katy ISD. “Additionally, this allows the District to better utilize its drivers," added Vierling. </p><p>The bell schedule adjustment <span style="text-decoration:underline;">only</span> affects elementary campuses.
