Cy-Fair ISD Parent invites KPRC 2 on ride along to show how challenging daughter’s walk to school is

School bus cuts at Cy-Fair ISD are turning the morning and afternoon rush into a major headache for parents. One concerned parent took our ReChelle Turner on a drive to reveal just how challenging her daughter’s walk to school really is.

Yet the district has plenty of money for sports... safety should be 1st priority .... this is sad 😢

Houston area poorly designed streets are a BIG part of the issue. Even the newest streets in the newest subdivisions are narrow (just travel lanes with curb), no shoulder, no sidewalk. WHY? Because shoulders and sidewalks take away land from the builders.

Let me guess: they have plenty of money for the football program, right?

Board members and high salary ppl in cy fair need to take a pay cut oh and they gonna come back and say even if they did it would not be enough… but it’s a start

Cypress, Tx. My old homemade. Moved away once my son started high school. 4, 000 kids in a school was just too much.

A lot of schools are lacking …
Either from transportation or having the air systems working …
I got informed from my own soon that some of the classrooms were hot and felt like an oven 😢 had to call the school and make a report about it !!! 😢😢

Cy Fair school district must be working in conjunction with child predators in the area. 🤷🏼‍♂️

While I’m also pissed about these changes I know exactly where that lady live as my sister lives there and that’s not the way her daughter should be walking. If she went the opposite way out of those apartments it would bring her through a neighborhood with sidewalks and drop her right at the school. My nephew who is in middle school also is supposed to walk and that’s a 45 minute walk.

I bet they would start busing the kids if everyone threaten to move out of Houston school district.

This is unacceptable!!! I notice there No sidewalks in Katy, Cypress. This is ridiculous. Plus it’s dark at 6:30am it’s not safe. What are they thinking. Why are there no walking 😡

[mattschehr]

Require sidewalks on major streets and side streets

Cy fair school district is a complete joke now. They decide to spend so much money on a concert. Bus routes are non exciting

Drive your kids to school or move to another district.

You have to understand that the city has spent millions and will continue to spend a lot more millions on asylum seekers. Where do you think that money is coming from?

First off, your "little daughter" is in high school. Carpool with neighbors of friends that drive.
Secondly, if no one wants to drive/carpool, then walk together in groups to school.
Lastly, because no one seems to have taught her, teach her to look both ways before crossing a street.
