Parents of elementary school students who were forced off at Fort Worth ISD bus at the wrong stop say tracking buses with GPS technology isn't enough to address the issue.

- Parents of elementary school students who were forced off at Fort Worth ISD bus at the wrong stop say"It still doesn't guarantee us that it's not going to happen again, but at least we'll know where our kids are," said Gloria Williams, who says her daughter is now scared to ride the school bus.

"Something's gotta get done," said another parents at the FWISD Board of Education meeting Tuesday night."This is unacceptable." "She did listen to us," Williams said."She said that she was very upset that's how she had to find out." "These are our kids," said Williams."I'm not only voicing for mine, I'm voicing for every child that rides the bus, for this not to happen to any child." FWISD hasn't released specifics about the system it plans to roll out.
