Starting this morning, Hutto ISD has notified parents that roadwork will throw a wrench into the typical morning commute for some families, particularly those in the Creekbend and Hutto Highlands neighborhoods. This construction is set to continue through Friday, May 10, and it's causing more than a few headaches when it comes to getting students to and from school, KVUE reports.

The district has stepped in, trying to ease the burden on families, asking those who can manage to drop off and pick up their children to do so, if possible. In the meantime, buses will continue running but with expected delays at alternative stops. Schools impacted include Cottonwood Creek Elementary, Hutto Elementary, Ray Elementary, Farley Middle School, and Hutto High School, among others. According to Community Impact, affected areas may see some level of disruption throughout the week.

While the exact duration of these delays is not clear, the district's proactive communication has been instrumental in keeping parents informed and prepared. The roadwork's timing has drawn the ire of many parents who rely on the predictability of bus schedules to juggle their busy mornings and afternoons.

For those seeking more information on how their daily routes might be affected, Hutto ISD has posted detailed bus route updates on their Facebook page. This online resource serves as a valuable tool for parents and students navigating temporary transportation changes. With almost a week of adjustments ahead, many families brace for what could be a frustrating few days of roadwork-related reshuffles.
