School district installs traffic cameras to enhance student safety and manage traffic flow

The Collingswood Board of Education meeting on June 23, 2025, highlighted significant developments aimed at enhancing student safety and academic growth within the community. A key announcement was the installation of traffic cameras near schools, part of a broader Safe Routes to School initiative. This effort aims to monitor traffic patterns and improve safety during arrival and dismissal times, addressing community concerns about speeding and traffic conditions around school buildings. The district encourages all drivers to adhere to posted traffic signs and exercise caution, particularly during peak hours.

In addition to safety measures, the meeting addressed the rising enrollment in kindergarten, with seats filling up quickly. Parents are urged to register their children as final placements will occur in mid to late July. The district expressed gratitude to the registration team for their hard work in preparing for the new school year.

The meeting also celebrated the dedication of teachers and school leaders, emphasizing their commitment to student success. The district reported continued academic and cultural growth, attributing this progress to the focused efforts of educators who prioritize not just data but the individual stories of students and families. The board reiterated its commitment to ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive and contribute positively to society.

As the school year approaches, these initiatives reflect the district's ongoing dedication to fostering a safe and nurturing educational environment for all students.
