It was well before the sun had even started to rise on Wednesday morning, but the Spring ISD Transportation Department was already in full swing. Just before 5 a.m., drivers filed into the building off Richey Road before heading out to the parking lot behind to start up their buses. Mechanics stood at the ready near the shop, just in case any last minute fixes were needed.
