Parents in the Iron Wolf subdivision in Lacombe will host a public meeting to discuss school busing at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on Tuesday.
Parents are concerned with their children’s safety because the youngsters have to cross Hwy 12, Hwy 2A and a busy railway crossing to attend either James S. McCormick or Lacombe Upper Middle School.
Students who live closer than 2.4 km from their designated schools must either walk or pay a fee to ride the bus. The parents feel the busing should be covered because of the safety risks.
The meeting gets underway at 7 p.m. in the Servus Credit Union Room.
Larry Jacobs, superintendent of Wolf Creek Public Schools, and representatives from the City of Lacombe are expected to attend.
