A group of families are concerned with the conditions that Fort Bend ISD put their kids in just by simply taking away a bus stop.Angry, concerned, and confused, a group of Fort Bend ISD parents said the school district is putting their children in harm's way after abruptly removing their bus service.
University Boulevard is the only pedestrian route they said to get their children to Fort Settlement Middle School."We have an accident every month. A major accident. Just the day before yesterday , there was a four-car wreck on this road," another parent, Noopur Bali, said."You're literally walking right next to what could be an 18-wheeler, large pickup trucks," Chen said.
During the last school year, district staff evaluated all routes that are less than two miles from a campus using an industry-standard score sheet. At that time, the district determined the route along University Blvd. and similar routes throughout the district do not qualify for bus service. A recommendation was made to the district's Board Trustees and a list of hazardous routes was approved in April 2022.
