McAllen ISD superintendent rides bus on first day of school
· KRGV (NBC 5)
On the first day of school, McAllen ISD Superintendent Dr. Rene Gutierrez rode bus number eight to observe the student experience firsthand. Approximately 5,000 students in the district rely on school buses, and Thigpen-Zavala Elementary School Principal Marisela Chapa emphasized the importance of ensuring that each student has an adult waiting at the bus stop. If no adult is present, students are returned to school for safety reasons. Gutierrez noted the need for patience from parents during the initial days as traffic may delay bus schedules. The district offers a bus tracker app for parents to monitor their child's bus location.
