The school district has officially agreed to maintain the current bus routes for our students. Knowing that these children will remain safe during their daily commute brings a profound sense of relief. Thank you for staying committed to this effort until the goal was fully realized.

We are petitioning to keep our current transportation services to our local Steiner schools. Removal of these bus routes puts our children in danger due to hazardous conditions (no sidewalks, 2 mile walks along Quinlan park, etc.). This will also increase traffic on our roads and add to the already growing problem we have.

The feedback from local families regarding the dangers of the proposed route changes confirms that this is a matter of safety for our children. I am currently compiling these accounts to present before the upcoming transit board review. Your persistence helps ensure that these risks remain central to the public conversation.

Seeing this response confirms that our neighbors understand the gravity of these transit changes. It is heartening to realize that so many people prioritize the safety of our children on these narrow roads.

As a parent whose bus service will be taken away, I feel it is a shame that the district isn't prioritizing student health and safety. Image walking 1.8 miles each way with a heavy instrument and backpack in 100 degree heat. Thank goodness we have some fancy scoreboards, though!
Many houses which are slated to have bus service canceled are more than 2 miles from CRMS. There is already so much traffic around CRMS and LWBE every morning, I can't believe that LISD wants to add to this congestion by forcing all these households to drive.
We need these busses from Bella Mar to CRMS. The walk is too long for children in 104+ degrees temperatures with a backpack, gym bag & instrument. It’s reckless to put children in this situation.
This is really concerning to me. The route for our children to walk to school is very dangerous. People drive on average 50 mph and the sidewalk is right next to the road.. Nobody stops at crosswalk. I am most got hit yesterday trying to cross just yesterday.
It's 1.75 miles from our house to CRMS. My son will not be walking that to and from school. If I drive him, I add to the traffic as does every parent around me.
Please please please stop LISD from taking more from the kids
Please reconsider bus routes within Steiner Ranch. Allowing any child to walk along Quinlan to or from school is not ok. Safety of the students should take precedent.

The roads are far too dangerous for our children to cross or walk along without fear of being hit or killed. One child was already knocked down in the road by the school this year.
