Killeen Independent School District (KISD) has proposed changes to bus pickup, drop-off, and school start times for the 2025-26 school year, which would shift the start of the school day 45 minutes earlier. This potential change has sparked community debate, with both positive and negative reactions shared on social media. While KISD officials stated they had sent surveys for feedback, some parents, like those at Pershing Park Elementary, claim they were unaware of the proposal. A KISD employee revealed that a shortage of bus drivers is behind the change, with staff from other departments filling in as emergency drivers.
