Making 7-year-olds walk in dark not bright idea

Making 7-year-olds

walk in dark not bright idea

I am appalled at the new policy

of the school board as it concerns picking up children from the Sandown

Creek subdivision in Peachtree City. Last year, and in previous years,

children were always picked up on the street that they lived. This year,

it is my understanding that they must walk to McIntosh Trail, and wait

across the street for the school bus to pick them up. This is dangerous

and lacks any sensible thought-process in making this decision.

McIntosh Trail is a connecting

road between Robinson Road and Ga. Highway 74, and traffic moves fast.

After daylights saving time ends, it is dark at that time of the morning.

Yet, you want my 7-year-old child to not only wait on the curb of this

busy street, but actually walk across it to wait for the bus? That

is insane.

Please do not wait until a

child is hit and possibly killed before you change this idiotic bus policy
