CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Parents who have been pleading for changes at what they call a dangerous bus stop are now getting what they want.
For weeks, parents have been outraged after several drivers were caught on camera breaking the law, speeding right past their kids' stopped bus on Ardrey Kell Road.
It would happen every day. Drivers would put children at risk as they illegally pass school buses.
At first, moms Leigh Ann Ordan and Shelby Gann's unsafe bus request was denied. CMS said kids get on the bus opposite of traffic, and the entrance to the neighborhood would be too difficult for a bus driver to maneuver.
Still, without resolution, the moms started an online petition, begging other parents to help them make CMS officials take action.
After meeting with the moms, CMS is now changing the bus stop location. They agreed to move the bus stop near Providence Country Club Drive, which will keep the students off a busy road.
The new location may not be ideal, the moms said, but it's a compromise for both the parents and the district.
