After long lines and poor organization led to a situation parents dubbed a “disaster” on Friday, Mansfield I-S-D re-attempted technology distribution on Monday.
“Hopefully we will get his stuff today and will be ready for school,” said parent Sharon Gillroy.
Gillroy was among those who waited for hours on Friday and were still unable to get their kid's technology.
“Tensions were high, you know the traffic - it was crazy. We sat for maybe three hours and then I just had to get out of line,” said Gillroy.
On Monday the lines moved quicker, in a statement Mansfield ISD Superintendent Kimberley Cantu said:
“We certainly understand our families’ frustration with the long lines. We’ve spent the last few days listening to parents and devising a new plan to make the process run more smoothly while keeping our students and families safe.”
The district’s new distribution plan now includes five different sites: Center for the Performing Arts, Mansfield High School, Timberview High School, Legacy High School and Vernon Newsom Stadium.
