Road construction complete just in time for school opening

During a recent government meeting, officials provided updates on local infrastructure and school safety measures as the new school year approaches. A key highlight was the completion of road construction on 8th Street, which now allows for open traffic in both directions, just in time for the school opening. The removal of construction materials and traffic cones has been finalized, ensuring a smoother commute for students and parents.

In addition to the road updates, officials confirmed that crossing guards will be stationed at all three designated crossing areas to enhance student safety. Two of these crossings are equipped with traffic lights, while one is pending installation, expected to be completed by next week.

Concerns were raised regarding communication protocols for the first day of school, particularly about handling reports of missing children. In response, officials noted that the principal has proactively shared information on the school’s website and social media platforms to address these concerns and ensure parents are informed.

Lastly, an enrollment update indicated that student numbers are on the rise, although specific figures were not disclosed. The meeting underscored the community's commitment to ensuring a safe and organized start to the school year.
