As part of our ongoing efforts to keep students and staff safe during winter weather, BISD is introducing a three-hour delay option for school start times. BISD now has the flexibility to start school two or three hours late when winter weather impacts travel conditions.

This additional delay provides more flexibility on Tuesdays through Fridays, allowing extra time for roads to be cleared and for everyone to travel safely to school.

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to make this a viable option on snow and ice days—ensuring that schedules, transportation, and meals are all ready to go when the weather requires extra flexibility.

How to calculate your school start time:

• A two-hour delay means you’ll add two hours to your regular start time.
• A three-hour delay means you’ll add three hours to your regular start time.
• End times will remain the same—the school day will still end at the usual time.

Bus transportation:

• If BISD announces buses are on snow routes - check the transportation page on our BISD website.
• If buses are running on regular routes, add 2 or 3 hours to your usual pickup time based on the delay.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate winter weather together. Our goal is always the same: to get everyone to school safely. For more information, visit our Inclement Weather Info & FAQs.
