Summary

The facilities committee reported students are being dropped off in a parking area requiring them to cross bus traffic; the committee recommended a safer drop-off design and noted new UPK playground equipment and signage restricting public access during instruction.

A facilities committee member told the board that the UPK (Universal Pre-K) drop-off currently places children in a parking area where they must cross a road used by buses. "They're being dropped off in the parking lot in front of the main doors, and they need to cross the road where the buses are coming in to let students off," the committee member said, and added that the committee recommended a reconfigured drop-off to improve safety.

The committee also reported that new UPK playground equipment will meet guidelines and that signage and restricted public access during instructional hours will be reinforced. The board noted the campus is heavily used and said staff will remind the community about restricted access and dog policies during instructional periods.
