LASA Bus

Students can travel to LASA on Magnet Bus Routes provided by AISD. To find a student's route and closest bus stop, use the AISD Bus Stop Finder.

LASA/Kealing Morning Bus Routes
LASA Afternoon Bus Routes

Auxiliary Bus Permits: Should a student need to be dropped off at a different location than the student’s house, the parent will need to complete an Auxiliary Bus Rider Request and Permit form.

If a student needs to ride a bus different from the one assigned on a temporary basis, s/he MUST have a permit.  To secure a permit, the parent or guardian needs to complete an Auxiliary Bus Rider Request and Permit and the student needs to bring that request to the LASA Main Office for the appropriate signature.  The student needs to give the bus driver the form to be permitted to ride that bus.  

If a student needs to ride a bus different from the one assigned on a regular basis, the parent/guardian needs to contact AISD Transportation:  414-0238.  Information about AISD Transportation can be found at http://www.austinisd.org/schools/bus/ and there is also a link for email contact.  

2009-10 LATE START BUS ROUTES

Throughout the school year, high school students will begin the school day approximately two hours late. Th find a student's route and bus stop for these days, use the AISD Bus Stop Finder.

The Late Bus

AISD provides Late Bus service to LASA students, departing daily at 6:15 p.m. from the parking lot on Lazy Creek Blvd behind the Theater/near the Gym. Late Bus service is via traditional yellow school buses, not Capital Metro buses.

Each bus serves a specific part of town. Buses deliver students directly to their homes (or mid-block if there are a number of students on a given street). It is imperative that students know how to direct drivers from LASA to their individual homes. They need to know the major intersections closest to their homes and to then be able to direct the drivers to their individual homes from that intersection. While each bus/bus driver is supposed to service the same area every day, there is not consistency in this to insure that a driver will remember a given route.

There is no marking on the buses to show which bus goes to which part of town, so a student should ask each bus driver until it locates the correct bus and then report to that same one in the future. Make sure the student notes the bus number because once identified, the bus should stay the same (but no guarantee). For the most part, the driver is the same, too, but sometimes there are substitutes.

Students taking the Late Bus will not necessarily get home at the same time every evening. Where you live, how many students are on the bus on a given night and how well each student knows where he or she lives will greatly affect what time your student gets home. The drivers are good about making adjustments in the order they deliver the students so the route is done in the most logical, efficient sequence.

If you have questions about the Late Bus, please contact Hallie Howie, Coordinator for Scheduling, AISD Department of Transportation at HHowie[at]austinisd.org or 512 414-0239.
