It made sense to her. The South Belton school, she said, lacked some basic things â such as an air-conditioned gym and additional resources for teachers and students.
But Reyes knew it didnât have the most important aspect: Parent involvement. That was something she saw at other schools, such as Sparta Elementary, where her nephew attends.
