Bonham ISD announced today that they are closing Nolan Ashmore Dr during the school day starting Aug 20.
Gates have been set in place and will be locked Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.
“There is a high volume of student traffic walking from the high school to the fieldhouses and stadium,” they said on their Facebook page.
Adding that, during the fall this includes high foot traffic with football players, the band, drill team, cheerleaders, and Physical Education students.
Closing the road will allow them to move safely between sites. Off-season football, soccer, and track athletes go to the stadium in the winter and spring.
Gates will be open on football game nights, weekends, and holidays. Parents can pick up student-athletes from the Finley-Oates parking lot east of the stadium after practices. Student pick-up for the high school is from the circle drive in front of the campus.
