(3) When a request for review is made to the district school superintendent or the district school superintendent's designee concerning a condition perceived to be hazardous to the students in that district who live within the 2-mile limit and who walk to school, such condition shall be inspected by a representative of the state or local governmental entity that has jurisdiction over the perceived hazardous location. The district school superintendent or his designee and the state or local governmental entity or its representative shall then make a final determination that is mutually agreed upon whether the hazardous condition meets the state criteria for hazardous walking conditions.
