Bus Service

   St. Mary's bus service is operated by the St. William's Catholic School Education Fund (CSEF), in Round Rock. The purpose of our ministry is to support Catholic education and maintain and operate the school bus that transports our children back and forth to St. Mary's at a minimal cost to the family. CSEF operates a 1989, 54-passenger school bus in which bus drivers and monitors are paid parent volunteers (and grand-parents too!).

Bus Fees

The bus is operated on a fee basis to insure a steady income to pay expenses. The fees are based on last year's expenses. If it appears that expenses will not be covered, the fee may be raised. By the same token, if it appears that costs have been overestimated, the fee will be reduced.
Fee:
1 child--$115/month
Family--$135/month
Transportation from Hutto is half of the price of the monthly fee listed above.
The fee is due the 10th of each month with the exception of August. August's payment is due August 21st. Please use the envelopes provided and either mail the envelope to the church office or personally drop the envelope off at the office. If you are unable to pay on time, please submit a note by the 10th of the month stating when the payment will be made or you will be charged a $5 late fee. If you do not plan on using the bus full-time your fees can be negotiated.

Bus Drivers and Monitors

CSEF bus drivers have commercial driver's licensees who volunteer their time to drive the bus. This year CSEF will pay our bus drivers $13.00 per trip to Taylor and back and bus monitors will receive $10.00 per trip.
Bus drivers and monitors are needed. In order to be a bus driver or monitor, each volenteer must pass a criminal background check and attend a class on Ethics and Integrity offered free of charge through the Diocese. Bus drivers must also have a commercial driver's license, CSEF will pay for the license and certification course. We are very flexible. We even have a car seat in the front seat for younger children and a second seat belt for another car seat or booster chair.
