JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Wednesday night, city and school leaders came together to try to find solutions on how to make the roads safer for kids.

District 3 school board member Cindy Pearson and District 5 City Councilman Joe Carlucci hosted a student safety town hall to hear concerns from parents and students.

From flashing crosswalks to lowering speed limits and raised sidewalks, no idea was off the table tonight from parents and students.

The first week of school in Duval County, three students were hit getting to and from school, one of them killed.

Last year, Pearson said 43 students in Duval County were hit and three died.

“When a student is killed that dinner table that night and forever more is changed,” said Superintendent Dr. Christopher Bernier at Wednesday's town hall.
