Summary
The board adopted a resolution continuing bus transportation for students at intersections designated as serious safety hazards for the 2025–26 year, including sites previously added such as Crystal Lake Road.
The McHenry School District 15 Board on June 24 approved a resolution to continue transporting students who would otherwise cross intersections deemed to be serious safety hazards during the 2025–26 school year.
The board packet included an attachments map and previously approved locations; presenters said there were no changes from prior years to the list of serious safety hazard crossings other than last year’s addition of Crystal Lake Road. The resolution authorizes the district to publish notice of sale (sic) of transportation services and to continue bus routes for affected students. Presenters said the district will encourage students who live near affected crossings to use buses; the Riverwood lot renovation this summer is intended to consolidate bus traffic to the rear of the building and parent pickup in the front.
A roll-call vote adopted the resolution. Board members said the action is a routine, required adoption to ensure bus service continues for students at identified crossings.
The board approved the resolution and staff said they will continue outreach to families about bus routing and pickup options ahead of the new school year.
