What: Austin ISD will host the 2015 Cen-Tex School Bus Roadeo.

This is an annual event that promotes bus driver safety. The roadeo consists of obstacle courses designed for conventional school buses, transit school buses and school buses for students with special needs.

“This is a great opportunity to promote bus safety with a bit of fun and competition,” said AISD Director of Transportation Kris Hafezizadeh.

Winners from each category will represent Central Texas at the Texas Association for Pupil Transportation School Bus Roadeo in Frisco, Texas later this summer.

“The best way to win when driving a bus is to not incur an accident, so if we can stay out of trouble at the roadeo, I think we’ll win,” Hafezizadeh said.

Who: AISD Director of Transportation Kris Hafezizadeh

When: 7 a.m. Saturday, April 18

Where: LBJ/LASA High School, 7309 Lazy Creek Drive
