A San Antonio Independent School District bus driver is creating black history in San Antonio by making it her personal mission to get the students who ride her bus excited about reading. Jackie Washington has become a face and voice for SAISD's Rolling Readers Program, where kids have access to technology on the go. Washington has been passionate about shaping the program and the kids who ride her bus. Washington has been a driver with SAISD for 27 years, and her bus is one of seven buses in the district's Rolling Readers Program, which came about through a partnership between the SAISD and BiblioTech. The program gives students access to Wi-Fi on the way to school and on the way home, as well as access to Kindles. Washington always has her bus decked out. Right now, the theme is Valentine's Day, and next, she will decorate it for Black History Month.
