NISD Transportation Dept has sent out a letter to Jefferson Middle School Households that bus service will not be provided for students that reside less than 2 miles (as measured along the shortest route that must be traveled on public roads). This Petition has been developed because many neighbors and parents are concerned about the hazardous conditions. We want NISD to continue the bus service to any children required to cross Shaenfield Rd. NISD apparently does not acknowledge the unsafe road conditions required to be crossed by our middle school children. This intersection is very dangerous.  It is an uncontrolled major traffic artery.  It does not contain any traffic lights, cross walks or crossing guards to help our children cross the required road to get to the school nor are either of these cross roads in a school zone. The cross roads are WildHorse Parkway @ Shaenfield and Canter Horse @ Shaenfield. There have been many accidents near these intersections to include multiple fatalities. Traffic in a vehicle is very difficult, much less asking children to maneuver through a 4 lane road where multiple accidents and fatalities have already occurred, is unrealistic. NISD indicates the validity of stopping the bus service because the construction of sidewalks is completed in this rapidly growing community. In addition, they are asking our children to walk an additional 1/4 mile plus walk around the baseball and football fields to get safely to school. This could take an hour for them to get to school. Please sign this Petition requesting NISD to continue bus service to any children required to cross this very unsafe road. Thank you very much! Please sign now, so we can stop this before the school year starts.

It is completely unsafe for the children to get across Shaenfield. Bus service should be continued.

Shaenfield road is very dangerous. I support a bus route in the wild horse subdivision in order to reduce the number of children crossing and walking along shaenfield. It's not safe for the kids or those driving.

Please change the policy for this school. It is endangering the lives of children every day having them walking along a dangerous busy road. There have been children hit before and people have died in fatal car accidents right on the stretch of road you are asking them to cross. Obviously since the district has changed the policy in years past it is a justified request and it should not be ignored.

Please consider the safety of our children. The houses close to braun gets buses, would it be so bad to add 3 or 4 more stops down wildhorse?

My kid has to walk this path and I worry every single day. The drivers on Shaenfield fly down that road way too fast. Please fix this.

that road is a nightmare during rush hour. letting kids walk across that without a light is just asking for a tragedy.
