District says sidewalks led to bus-route changes at two schools; parents have been notified
Summary
Administration reported that sidewalk improvements and a petition to the county sheriff led to a change in hazardous‑transportation designations; students at Peier and Roberts will not receive district bus service next school year, administrators said.
The Fond du Lac School District told the board on Feb. 24 that changes in the hazardous transportation plan will end district bus service next school year for students who attend Peier and Roberts schools in parts of the city where sidewalks have been added.
The update was informational only and not an item for board approval. District staff said the change follows state statutes that require the district to petition the sheriff to review hazardous transportation areas; the petition was approved by Sheriff Trowbridge, the staff said. Families were notified and will receive a reminder before the change takes effect.
Why it matters The hazardous transportation designation determines whether the district provides bus service. District staff said added sidewalks change student pedestrian safety conditions and therefore the transportation designation. Affected families will need to plan alternate transportation for the next school year.
Next steps Staff said they will send reminders to families and continue to coordinate with the county sheriff’s office. No vote or further board action was requested at the meeting.
