Busing Result of "Good Problem" For J.H. Hines Elementary

Listen to the audio

JH Hines Elementary is bursting at the seams. The brand new school is over capacity, twice as big as it was last year due to the merger with Doris Miller Elementary. In addition, so many students have enrolled, that now students in the district are being bused to other schools. Principal Archie Hatten says it's a challenge but not one that detracts from a good start to the school year.

We'll continue our visit with Principal Archie Hatten tomorrow and hear more Sunday at 3 on KWBU Rewind. And throughout the year, we'll examine Waco ISD through the prism of one of it's schools, JH Hines. For KWBU News, I'm Derek Smith.
