Magnolia ISD adopts hazardous-traffic resolution to seek supplemental TEA transportation funding
Summary
The board adopted a resolution listing numerous streets and neighborhoods it deems hazardous for student walkers under Education Code 42.115(d); the resolution will be used to support requests for supplemental transportation allotments from TEA.
The Magnolia ISD Board adopted a Hazardous Traffic Conditions Resolution as part of the July 13 consent agenda to identify specific areas lacking sidewalks or featuring other hazardous walking conditions. The resolution cites Education Code 42.115(d) and the TEA School Transportation Allotments handbook as the statutory basis for requesting supplemental funding to transport regular students who otherwise live within two miles of school but face hazardous walking conditions.
The resolution text, included in the board packet, lists a broad set of residential streets, subdivisions and address ranges organized by campus attendance area. It specifically lists clusters such as Nichols Sawmill Road ranges, Country Lake and Indigo Lake neighborhoods, Old Hockley Road segments, and dozens of other named streets and subdivisions. The minutes record adoption as part of the consent agenda; the full list is in the official packet for reference when submitting claims to TEA.
The resolution does not itself change routing or service levels; it is the district's formal statement for TEA consideration to secure supplemental transportation funding for affected students.
