Communication and Safety Survey - We want to help!
Thank you to all parents who returned the Safety and Communication Survey. Each week, we will address another question or comment.
Several parents have written notes of concern regarding bus safety. This issue is an obvious area for growth for our students, drivers, and parents. Currently, two of our buses have adult assistants riding along with driver to aid in supervision. All buses have cameras and seatbelts. Mr. Preston and the Related Arts team reviewed bus safety with students recently during the RA block. Our Family Learning team will be meeting with Tommy Starnes, Director of Transportation, to brainstorm ways to make our routes safer, especially for those Jackson students. Please be patient as we work through your concerns. Parents can help by reminding students to stay seated with seatbelts on at all times and to keep voices at appropriate conversation levels.
Many more questions and comments were made and we appreciate this feedback. BOLO for more information each week!
