Board approves Manor parent-loop bid to ease school traffic
Summary
The board awarded a contract to Disbrow Excavation and Trucking for a Manor School parent-loop project, capped at $10,000 from the sinking fund, with board members saying the project will improve child safety and traffic flow.
Superintendent Shaw recommended the board award the Manor parent-loop contract to Disbrow Excavation and Trucking and told the board the award would be "not to exceed $10,000" and paid from the sinking fund. He said the new parent-loop and easement work with the city should reduce congestion in front of Manor School and improve safety during pick-up and drop-off.
Board members supported the recommendation on safety grounds. One board member said the work is important "because, you know, we need to get the parents off the road, so to speak, so the neighbors don't have..." Superintendent Shaw set a target for completion, saying worst case the work would finish by Sept. 23 and staff would notify parents when the route was ready. The board approved the motion by roll call.
The board asked staff to provide cost details when they are available and to communicate new entry procedures to parents once construction is scheduled.
