This information is provided for public safety and its prudent that we use this information to help safeguard the school children. My grand daughter has been assigned to a bus stop for 2 years at the curb of a known sex offender. I strongly encourage the transportation department to consider a new safety practice as champions of school children's safety.

We have had some amazing bus drivers serve our youth. I am grateful for their efforts to transport precious cargo safely.

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 07:07:16 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=449634#comment-461290 There NEEDS to be sheriffs or state troopers (Mobile hwy is a state road) at the Bellview middle school car rider intersection! ESPECIALLY now there is yet another busy fast food restaurant across the street. These teachers aren't trained to manage highway traffic. Even if they were could become state trained and certified that's a huge liability. Secondly with so many registered sex offenders in the area, children living in Bellview should have the option to ride the bus as well instead of only being walkers or car riders. Most job shifts and at 5 pm so the only option for my child is to walk.. Rain, freezing, etc. People wear mask driving in their vehicles bc of COVID and with the incident that happened with the little girl last school term, I hope this is something that can be changed immediately There NEEDS to be sheriffs or state troopers (Mobile hwy is a state road) at the Bellview middle school car rider intersection!

We will drive our daughters to their schools. Not sure if ECAT could ease some of issues some parents are facing due to their work schedules. Also carpooling could help in some areas.
