title
Request for approval of the usage of Precinct 4 charter buses for the purpose of transporting students and chaperones from Liberty High School to attend immunization appointments at the Baylor College of Medicine Teen Health Clinic, located at Bayland Community Center, and back on April 8, 2026, sponsored by the Foundation for Teen Health.

Background and Discussion:
Precinct 4 requests authorization to provide transportation support for the Foundation for Teen Health in coordination with Houston ISD. The Foundation for Teen Health, led by its Executive Director, collaborates closely with the Baylor College of Medicine Teen Health Clinic to facilitate access to essential health services for students. HISD Liberty High School has requested transportation for approximately 45 students to attend immunization appointments at Bayland, with the intent to transport students in smaller groups over multiple days and to utilize vans rather than a full-size bus.
Transportation is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, in alignment with HISD’s confirmed arrangements. The requested support will enable students to access required immunizations that may otherwise present transportation challenges.
Expected Impact:
Providing transportation for student immunizations will facilitate reliable access to critical preventive healthcare services for HISD Liberty High School students. The initiative supports improved public health outcomes by ensuring that students receive required immunizations in a timely manner. The transportation support also strengthens interagency collaboration between Precinct 4, HISD, the Foundation for Teen Health, and the Baylor College of Medicine Teen Health Clinic, enhancing service delivery and reducing barriers to care for vulnerable student populations.
Alternative Options:
Not approving this request would cause the organizers to find alternative transportation.
