I wouldn't say over the edge. To be honest, I do not know what it feels like to have a child, and won't pretend to know the concern you feel for their well being. That being said, you seem to be a tad overly protective, but I do not know you personally nor the are you live in so I don't really put much weight on this vague assumption. Also, I do think parents fears, while not unfounded, are exaggerated since the kidnapping rate among persons under 18 is 8.2 per 100,000. So it is far from common.
My main problem with this though is that I think the school has no business in telling how parents send their kids to school. Their child, their choice if the kid walks or bikes or takes the bus or is driven to the school door.
