District updates hazardous transportation plan; Peier and Roberts students to lose bus service next year after sidewalk improvements
Summary
Superintendent’s report said areas identified as hazardous transportation have been re-evaluated; two school stop areas (Peier and Roberts) will no longer receive district bus transport next year after sidewalk improvements and sheriff review.
The superintendent delivered an informational update on the district’s hazardous transportation plan, saying recent sidewalk improvements prompted a review of bus routes and eligibility.
Under state statute procedures described on the record, the district petitioned the Fond du Lac County sheriff to review areas designated for transportation. The superintendent told the board that Sheriff Trowbridge approved the recommended changes and that families at Peier and Roberts — who have received bus transportation in prior years — have been notified they will no longer receive bus service beginning the next school year.
The superintendent said the change results from improved pedestrian infrastructure (sidewalks) that make walking routes safer; staff will send further reminders to affected families. She characterized this item as informational only, not requiring board approval at this meeting, and noted the change followed state statute procedural requirements including sheriff review.
