Parent urges Springtown ISD to separate older students on buses over suitability concerns

Springtown ISD Board of Trustees · June 29, 2026

Summary

Parent Megan Faries told trustees she is concerned her incoming fifth‑grader will ride with older students and asked the district to review bus schedules to separate older riders; the board thanked her and no action was taken at the meeting.

During the public comment portion of the June 29 meeting, parent Megan Faries asked the board to examine bus schedules because her child, entering fifth grade, will ride with older students and she worries about exposure to age‑inappropriate behavior or content.

"Mrs. Faries has a student that is going into the fifth grade and will be riding the bus with older students," the transcript records; she asked the district to see whether older students could be routed separately. The board acknowledged her concern and thanked her for speaking at public comment. No formal action or staff directive was recorded at the meeting; the matter may be put on a future agenda if trustees request a formal review.
