Subject expert: Stopfinder school bus app, Transportation Services 
  
Expert: Cesar Flores, transportation director for SAISD Transportation Services, is available for interviews and a live demonstration outdoors. 
  
As the only District in Bexar County to add the Stopfinder bus app, SAISD parents will now be able to know where their child’s bus is, set alerts when the bus is close, and send messages to the transportation department if a student is running late. Conversely, Transportation Services can message parents if something gets left behind on the bus.
