   "We transport about 3,200 kids a day," HISD Assistant Superintendent John DeBrock said.
   ...
   According to DeBrock, policy dictates that someone is standing at the bus to write down the name of every child who boards.
   
   If it is unknown what bus a student should get on, they contact the HISD transportation department, he said.
   
   From campus, the buses go to the transportation department, or bus barn, unload, and the students then board their homebound buses.
   
   If a student appears to be on the wrong bus or does not recognize the drop-off area, drivers are instructed to keep the student on the bus and return them to the dock once the route is through, DeBrock said.
   
   All buses are equipped with two-way radios, and if a parent calls in reporting their child has not been dropped off at the designated stop, a call goes out to the bus asking if the child is still on board.However, this is not always possible.
   
   "Unfortunately, there are a lot of dead areas in the county where we don't get radio communication," DeBrock said.
   ...
   "Buses were running late yesterday, which is typical the first day of school," DeBrock said.
