Bus crash
On August 13th, 2025 (the first day of school for LISD) at approximately 3:15 p.m. CDT, one of the district's school buses crashed near the intersection of Nameless Road and Palomino Ranch Drive, carrying 42 students and the driver. The driver and 9 students were injured, and 2 students were airlifted from the scene. In October 2025, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued urgent recommendations following its investigation of the crash. The report found that while the bus was equipped with seat belts, 36 of the 42 students were not restrained. As a result, the NTSB urged Texas and LISD to implement enforceable seat belt policies. LISD has since mandated that drivers verify all students are buckled before departure.
