District Updates List Of Areas Too Hazardous For Students To Walk To School

---

The school district has an updated list of areas it considers too dangerous for children to walk to school.

The list was approved at the Board of Education’s Aug. 23 meeting.

Streets contained in the prior policy “were a little dated,” board spokeswoman Mary Clark said. “This is also a reflection of changes in attendance zones.”

Students whose route to school is covered in the list will be given bus transportation by the district, even if they live within the “courtesy busing” zone threshold.

The new list of hazardous areas includes:

Franklin High School – All students due to lack of sidewalks and traffic conditions.

Franklin Middle School at Sampson G. Smith Campus – The following students due to lack of sidewalks; traffic conditions or lack of crossing guards:

• Students who travel along, or across Amwell Road from the South to the 2 mile limit Students who travel along Amwell Road from the North to the 2 mile limit
