With the expansion of 820, we have all experienced the challenges caused by the construction. With the addition of school buses and parent and student traffic around our schools, this will only be magnified.
The district has been working with our cities on plans to best handle traffic flow around our campuses. To help, we are asking parents and students who drive to and from school to:
- Adjust your schedules. Make sure you account for additional traffic so you arrive at school on time.
- Be patient with other drivers. We are all dealing with the same construction challenges.
- Be flexible. If there are alternate routes available, consider using them. However, if you do, be respectful in the neighborhoods that now have to adjust to increased traffic.
- Drive carefully. Observe all school zones and remember to put down that cell phone when driving in a school zone. A child’s life is more important than that call or text.
After school begins, BISD will continue to monitor traffic around our campuses. If adjustments need to be made, notifications will be made by phone, on the campus and district website, facebook and twitter.
