• North Texas school district uses app to allow parents to track school bus routes (spectrumlocalnews.com) — Little Elm ISD is rolling out a new Stop Finder app this school year so parents can track their child's bus in real time and get alerts when students get on or off. Drivers are training on updated routes, students will scan RFID badges when boarding, and more than 35 district buses already meet Texas' new three-point seat belt requirements ahead of the 2029 deadline.
