Patuxent Elementary Students, Unsafe in Patuxent River Park
This petition was published by ROBIN MAZYCK on Jan 04, 2009
We, the undersigned, call on the Prince George's School in the state of Maryland to grant an exception, allowing Patuxent Elementary School Students who would otherwise walk through the Patuxent River Park prior to sunrise, a safe ride to and from Patuxent Elementary School.
The walk is dangerous, occuring before sunrise when the park is dark and officially closed to ALL HUMANS.
And yet, the Prince George's County school board and the School's Transportation Department have refused to abide by their own regulations to;
1. Get an official safety inspection from the Prince George's Police Department in accordance with the school's own regulations. (PG County Administrative Procedure 3541, Section III, Part A, 1, e, dated 9-1-2004). The regulations state that the police department must be involved in the official certification of unsafe walking conditions.
2. Reinstate the school bus service to students who now walk from Brookmeadow Lane through Village Drive West-Patuxent River Park and on to Bishopmill Drive to Patuxent Elementary School. The same hazardous criteria continue to exist for the past 15 years on the roads to Patuxent Elementary School.
