It was back to school for about 30,000 students in the Rockford School District today. While Superintendent Linda Hernandez told us this morning things went pretty smoothly, 23 News got several complaints about the first day back.

The grandmother of kindergartner Makia McClur says her first time ever on a school bus alone didn't go so well, McClur never made it to her daycare.

Transportation officials tells us McClur and four other children ended up at the transportation center after mix ups with their drop offs. A mistake, McClur's grandmother says she can't get answers for and never wants to happen again.

A mistake, transportation officials tell us is bound to happen when dealing with nearly 21 thousand students. The transportation department has also instated a new wristband program this year, that should help get the right students on the right buses and where they need to go on time.
