Power out at JEH, board meeting held with only the light from the windows! Short meeting, so these notes are more brief.

Board reviewed IDOT Hazards and the list of crossing guard locations for SY27. Significant reduction in crossing guards for many schools. Regarding concern about some of the areas where crossing guards were removed, administration explained that making Ridge a designated hazard means those students will be eligible for bussing.

Thrive65 Note

In practice this may mean that kids who live a block or two away from a school on the other side of Ridge would now need to take a bus. It may be worth asking board if the additional hazard transportation reimbursement from the state will fully cover the new busing, or if the administration feels confident folks living a couple blocks away will actually use the bus versus kids just continuing to cross a busy street with no crossing guard now.

Thrive65 Note

Some community members have reached out with concerns to Admin or Board and received varying information that more crossing guards may be added to some locations, but the district has not verified anything publicly to help families know what to expect for their school commutes.
