meeting for Munroe participants only. She and Ms. Maloney reported that the most common problem is a student getting on the wrong bus. It is felt that parents need to take more ownership of this issue. Mr. Weeks would like to have the Minuteman article cover this program as a resource to parents. • Minuteman articles: The discussion was had for the need of a global article covering traffic engineering initiatives and timeline per school and the physical changes necessary to occur before enforcement can happen. Some issues can be anticipated but it is difficult to name them without specifics in place. An incremental approach per school should involve education then enforcement. Themes must be consistent school -to- school but specificity will take time. The important message is that policy is global.

The proposed timeline is as follows: 3/17 - Minuteman article on the proposed policy 3/24 - LPS /LPD letter 3/31- bus registration mailing with specifics for Estabrook 4/7 -5/16 - bus registration period and related Minuteman articles. The latter should include how STS has addressed parents concerns of why their students don't take the bus. • LPS /LPD joint educational campaign: With the proposed LPS Traffic policy set to be effective for September, new level of expectations for the community must be made. The LPD will work in concert with the LPS to communicate what will be expected of school traffic beginning in September. The distribution of this joint letter will occur during the school bus registration period. In addition, Captain Ferro will reach out to the Estabrook community and Principal Trach. At the final PTA Presidents Council, Ms. Crocker will emphasize that the PTA's have the safety greater kits at their disposal. Captain Ferro made the point that the PTA /PTO's need to notify the LPD whenever they are hosting a significant event that will draw a large number
