Parents raise traffic-safety concerns at Willamina schools; staff urges use of tipline
Summary
During audience time parents and community members praised school events but raised safety concerns about student drop-off and pickup at the middle/high school and urged interim measures; staff also reminded families about the Safe Oregon tip line (844-472-3367).
A public commenter (S8) updated the board on high school activities and thanked staff for air conditioning during a recent tournament. Committee member (S6) used audience time to raise safety concerns about morning drop-off and afternoon pickup at the middle/high school, describing drivers making u-turns and poor visibility behind large vehicles. "It's extremely dangerous out there," S6 said, urging interim measures such as cones, maps sent via ParentSquare and "no u-turn" signage until a longer-term parking plan can be implemented.
Staff member (S5) reminded the board to re-share the Safe Oregon tip line (a statewide tipline managed in coordination with Oregon State Police) to families; S5 provided the number, (844) 472-3367, and suggested sending it through ParentSquare so families can report concerns anonymously in addition to using 911 for emergencies.
