Board debates drop-off flow, signage and a gated morning route to ease congestion
Summary
Members discussed converting staff parking to a morning parent drop-off lane, blocking a shortcut with a rope or gate, adding student-drop-off signage and sending maps/mass texts to change parent patterns.
Board members and staff examined several short-term and longer-term changes to morning traffic flow at the school, including converting the staff lot to a parent pull-in/drop-off, installing signage, implementing a one-way back street and temporary gating to force the desired circulation. S1 (Staff member) outlined a proposal for a pull-in lane near the office to allow five cars to drop off and exit without blocking traffic.
Participants debated enforcement and public-road limits: S6 (Committee member) cautioned that the lot is on public road and gating might bring backlash; others suggested orange vests for volunteers and maps/text alerts for parents. "If you put a sign there, it's a little hard to say I don't know what thing," S5 (Committee member) said, supporting signage and communication. The board agreed to pilot flow changes and to include parking and drop-off options in the goals packet and budget planning.
