It is the second week of school for the  Killeen Independent School District. Unfortunately, there have already been some disturbing moments with a child who attends Reese’s Creek Elementary. A concerned parent reached out to me and explained a horrifying episode. The mother  (Kristina Case) of the six-year-old girl stated that the Killeen Independence School District allegedly mishandled transportation for her daughter. This Texas mother said she couldn’t find her daughter for at least 15 minutes and not only did this put her into a complete panic but how she felt Reese Creek Elementary handled it was completely coldhearted and careless.  .

Kristina explained to me that her child had opted out of bus transportation early in the year and when she filled out a permanent dismissal form for her daughter, it should’ve been clear that this particular episode should’ve never taken place. Case explained that when she went into a panic and spoke with the front office, no one seemed to care about her feelings at the time as if she wasn’t being taken seriously. After searching for her daughter, it was later reported that the principal handed Kristina a pass and explained that her daughter simply just so happened to be on the bus.

HERE IS WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT STATED

Of course, as a mother she became more furious, but instead of allowing that to distract her, she raced to the bus stop, and when she didn’t see her kid, she began to panic and fear for the location of her child. Case calmed down, collected her thoughts, and said to herself, let me go home and see if my child was there thank God, her daughter was walking around the corner. The principal allegedly took responsibility for the mishap. The reality was Kristina still wanted this to be brought to light because a lot of parents go through this every year. According to KWTX the Killeen independent district sent out a statement replying that "Our priority remains the safety and well-being of our students. The first few days of school are always a learning experience for students and staff, and the campus is working to tighten up its process to make, sure that when parents and guardians make a transportation change the day of that is communicated on time to teachers."
