    Approved applicants were emailed payment links on July 9th to the student applicant FBISD email address.


    Phase 2: Hardship applications process will open for juniors on July 7th

    • We will reserve several spots in the student parking lot for juniors and meet as a committee the week of the 14th. The committee will consist of teachers, parents, and admin to read applications with personal details redacted.

     

    Phase 3: Seniors and juniors can apply for a parking pass on July 14th at 12:00 AM through July 18th at 11:59 PM.

    • Juniors will be considered in the general pool after seniors and hardships.
    • Once the window closes, we will conduct a random draw to indicate who will receive the remaining parking passes. All other students will be placed on a waiting list when spots become available throughout the school year.

     

    July 19th-25th

    • Links to pay will be sent out to all approved applicants from the Phase 3 application period (7/14-7/18).

     

    Passes will be picked up at the end of July or beginning of August before school begins. Please watch for communication.

     

    FAQs

    • My 10th grader has many extracurricular activities, and we cannot pick them up. Are there special exceptions?
      1. Unfortunately, no. We have fewer spaces now than we did at this time next year. There is no fair, equitable, or justifiable way to ensure that upper classmen that have waited for parking will receive a space if we open it to 10th graders.
    • If my senior does not have their license by July 18th, are they still guaranteed a spot?
      1. Based on the numbers sold at the moment, there is a good chance they will still get a spot, but they are not guaranteed a spot.
    • Will my junior be prioritized if they are not able to ride the bus?
      1. We will only consider hardship applications for juniors that are not already able to ride the bus. That being said, being out of the “bus zone” does not guarantee a hardship application.
    • How does the hardship committee work?
      1. A group of 6-8 teachers, parents, and administrators will meet the week of the 14th to review hardship applications. Members of the committee will not have a student applying for a parking permit. All names and personal details of the hardship applications will be removed before review. Committee members will read and debate the need for a permit based on objective guidelines (for obvious reasons, guidelines cannot be shared).

     

    From the knowledge we currently have, we can expect parking challenges to be similar or the same for the ‘25-’26 school year. Sophomores (class of 2028) will not be eligible to receive a parking pass during the 2025-2026 school year.

    Parking Rules and Regulations

    All student vehicles parked on school property are required to have a current CHS parking permit attached to the windshield on the passenger side. Vehicles in violation are subject to being booted, ticketed, or towed. The cost for a parking permit is $40.00. Students must have a valid Texas Driver's License and proof of insurance in order to purchase a permit. 

    Violations of the following parking rules will subject you to disciplinary action, parking citations, and/or loss of your parking permit for the current school year and the following next year.

    1. Permit must be clearly visible and permanently attached to the bottom right (passenger) side of the front windshield.
    2. Students may not obtain a permit for another student.
    3. Parking permits are not transferable. No sharing of permits is allowed.
    4. Parking is only permitted in the area designated by the permit.
    5. If the registered vehicle is involved in an accident, stolen, or sold, a replacement permit must be purchased, and a new application must be filled out. If the old permit is returned in identifiable condition, the replacement cost is $5.00. If the old permit is not returned or is unidentifiable, the replacement cost is $40.00.
    6. If, for any reason, you drive a vehicle other than the one registered, you must inform Mrs. Hays or Mr. Sweeney in the attendance office of the change upon your arrival at school to receive a temporary permit.
    7. Students must get out of their vehicle and enter school upon arrival. Loitering in or around any vehicle is not permitted.
    8. The parking lot speed limit is 15 mph. Students must obey all traffic signs and directions from the parking attendant and FBISD Police.
    9. Students may not leave campus during the normal school day without permission from the proper authority (assistant principal, school nurse, or attendance office). This rule applies to passengers as well as drivers.
    10. If your driving behaviors cause a discipline problem, you will automatically forfeit the privilege to drive your vehicle to school.
    11. Violations of parking rules will result in a $40 school citation. If this fine is not paid, the student will lose all parking privileges and be placed on the NOT CLEAR list. Unpaid fines may also result in the car being booted and a $30 fee (increases per incident) charged to remove the boot, or the vehicle being towed at the owner’s expense.
    12. If any school or law enforcement official has reason to believe that a vehicle may contain any element of criminal activity, the student will be asked to consent to a search of the vehicle. Failure to comply will result in immediate suspension of the student’s parking privileges.
    13. No refunds will be issued if a permit is taken away for any reason.
