Two students were hit while walking to school this month in separate incidents and had to be hospitalized. A third student was hit in February but was not seriously injured.
The incidents were logged into the school district’s reporting system, but there wasn’t a letter about the incidentsBrigid Howe, a parent of a fifth-grader at Pine Crest Elementary School in Silver Spring, has been pushing administrators to notify parents each time a pedestrian-related collision happens.
Plus, the school system doesn’t have a public central reporting mechanism in place that shows which routes are particularly dangerous, she said. “I don’t think this school system has really come to grips yet fully with the idea that kids walking and biking to school are getting hit on their way to school,” Schoenbaum said. “It’s really a MCPS issue and a MCPS priority.”
