Allen ISD transportation professionals recently represented the district at Houston's 2025 Texas State School Bus Safety Competition. The event brought together top drivers from across Texas to showcase their skills and commitment to student safety.
Chris James earned third place in the Transit Division after securing second at the regional level earlier this spring. Randi Valentine, who placed fourth regionally, stepped in to compete at the state level when first-place regional winner Caleb West was unable to attend.
The Roadeo challenges drivers through timed events and safety inspections, emphasizing the training and precision required to operate school buses safely. Participants compete in categories based on bus type, including conventional, transit, and special teams.
Although only first-place finishers advance to the national competition, Allen ISD’s participation reflects a strong culture of excellence in student transportation.
