First of all, either walking near the school is unsafe or the school in the middle of a residential neighborhood. You don't get to have it both ways!

Second, the idea that sidewalks are too expensive is obviously horseshit, considering that the alternative is widening the roads and they can somehow always find the much larger amount of money for that.
