Bus service to Fairfield High School is eliminated due to budget cuts and local police advise students not to attempt to walk to school.
" 'Don't try to walk to school. There is no safe way to walk to the high school along Gilmore Road or Holden Boulevard,' said Police Lt. Ken Colburn, who has worked with the district on traffic plans for this week...
Fairfield isn't alone. In recent years, new Monroe, Lebanon, Little Miami and Indian Hill high schools have been built on large tracts at the edge of the community - without sidewalks - which require most students to arrive by car or bus."
