OVIEDO, Fla. -- Parents of some children at a Seminole County school face transportation challenges -- again.

The parents who live on the east side of Alafaya Trail are fighting to keep the school buses running, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.

It is a battle they have won once before. Evans Elementary School parents fought Seminole County Public Schools last year when they learned their buses might be eliminated.

When construction ended on busy state Road 434, which is also called Alafaya Trail, by state law, the district could have stopped the buses, but after a parental uprising, the buses remained.

Now, the district is reconsidering its decision for kids who live along the east side of the road.

"My requirement is to look at the situation. If the hazardous duty does not exist, I am required to remove the transportation," said Ken Lewis, of Seminole County Public Schools.

The district maintains they told parents last year that the removal of busing would be considered at the end of this school year.

That time is near, but parents agree that if anything, it has only got worse.

"What about these predators? These predators today are going in to houses and taking kids out.

You're going to walk 2 miles, a 5-year-old, and not be at risk?" said parent Jim Martin.

Another concern of parents is that the speed limit on SR 434 is now 50 mph, an increase since the last time the route was looked at.

The safety committee will make a decision by the end of the school year.

The school district would save $127,000 a year by removing the buses.
