Resident pleads for more school safety presence after student death
Summary
During open forum a resident urged more police or safety presence at drop-off and pick-up following the death of a student, saying the superintendent has pursued state help for years and asking the community to step up.
At the start of the meeting a resident used the public comment period to describe the recent death of a Central Square student and urged local officials and the police to provide additional presence at school arrival and dismissal times.
"This little girl that was killed this week, my son was the first class into that school," the resident said, and added that during the past the district had restricted students from walking down a driveway and required buses or parent pick-up. The resident asked why local police or town officials could not provide an hour or two of coverage in the morning or evening to help with student safety and said the superintendent has spent eight years pursuing state remedies.
The chair thanked the commenter and said the concern had been addressed to the board; the record shows no immediate change ordered during the meeting.
