Parent raises traffic‑safety concerns at Blackberry Creek drop‑off; board says it will coordinate with community partners
Summary
A parent reported that a recent crash and ongoing traffic problems at the Blackberry Creek school drop‑off are creating safety risks; the superintendent said administration will observe the site and coordinate with community partners.
A parent raised safety concerns about traffic at the Blackberry Creek school drop‑off, saying his wife was struck by a car recently and describing repeated instances of drivers ignoring stop signs, bypassing traffic lines and being verbally aggressive toward crossing guards.
The parent asked the board to consider interventions and noted that the situation improves only when a police officer is present. “My wife was hit by a car… she grazed her with the car. It's pretty serious because it could've been a kid,” the speaker said, urging the district to work with village and law‑enforcement partners.
Superintendent Rolling said administration will coordinate with community partners, be present at pick‑up and drop‑off to assess conditions and consider public reminders to parents about safety and traffic order. Rolling suggested the matter may be raised as a future agenda item and noted district staff will observe sites and report back.
No formal board action occurred; the remarks were recorded during the board’s topics‑for‑future‑agendas segment.
