The Pasadena Independent School District is accepting bids until March 31 for transportation service for the Special Education Department.

Up for bid is a one-year contract to provide the district with round-trip transportation for one special-needs student and one parent from the student's home, located in the 4800 block of Yellowstone Trail, to the Avondale House, 3737 O'Meara Drive.
