Action Plan—Eric suggested an item that he saw presented at a conference to encourage walking to school: an incentive that schools let “walker” status students exit the building 5 minutes before the rest of the school.  Senthia suggested we bring the idea to faculty, and Principal Wolfe agreed to put it on the next faculty meeting agenda.

Parking Lot Idea:  Allow passage for pick-up on the blacktop of the playground.

Concern shared:  cars parked at the north door causing traffic flow problems. Clint offered to take down the sign that says “loading zone” sign (on the fence). Senthia suggested to hand out flyers as drivers pull up… Safety survey/evaluation by District Safety specialist (ask Lauren for suggestions). *****5-minute early leave (Kindergarten) – will that affect the minutes required for Kindergarten?
