The community around Tom Green Elementary School is reeling after a preschooler was killed in a crash involving a Hays CISD school bus on its way back from a field trip.
Stuffed animals fill the base of a growing memorial outside Tom Green Elementary School in Buda on Saturday."I can't believe it, especially pre-K," said Joann Thornton, who lives nearby.It’s a heartbreaking reminder of the loss of a young life."No one wants to hear what we had to hear," said Molly Andrews, the community leadership representative for Tom Green.
Out of the district’s 200-bus fleet, it said only 40 have seatbelts.A representative for the district added they don’t know if a seatbelt would have made a difference for the student who died in the crash, but the district will discuss accelerating its bus replacement process in an upcoming meeting.Back at Tom Green, neighbors are still trying to process the shock. Thornton brought flowers to lay at the memorial.
