Seeking safer ways for children to get to and from school in Mountain Home, a group of city officials and concerned citizens met last week to identify possible solutions.

The walking tour around East Elementary School, Hacker Middle School and surrounding neighborhoods was another step in the city's Safe Routes to School initiative.

Last week's gathering follows a public meeting in early May to identify needed improvements for walking and bike paths for children attending both schools.
