Board reviews certification of hazardous walking routes near District 88 schools under Illinois School Code
Summary
Under Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/29-3, the board reviewed two remaining areas where walking constitutes a serious hazard and noted sections previously approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The DuPage HSD 88 Board of Education reviewed the district—s annual certification of hazardous walking conditions under the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/29-3) and identified two remaining areas that meet the statutory guidelines for free bus transportation because walking is a serious hazard due to vehicular traffic.
Staff said the two areas that met the prescribed guidelines and were previously approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation are: along Riordan Road from Ardmore Avenue to Monterey Avenue, and along Ardmore Avenue from Roosevelt Road to Canterbury. The presentation noted that the board must annually review areas within 1.5 miles of schools where conditions make walking a serious hazard to students.
The segment was presented as information; board members asked no follow-up questions during the discussion item as recorded in the meeting. The item did not show a separate motion in the transcript; staff reported these areas as the remaining locations that met the guidelines and referred to prior approvals by IDOT.
The board did not take additional action beyond the annual review during the meeting; staff retained responsibility for maintaining the record and reporting to state authorities as required by statute.
