Letter: School should open a second lane to drop off students
Icon viewers:
I was hoping someone would publicly address the dropoff situation going on at the Ada school. It was a good idea, but wasn't researched enough. The school didn't take into consideration, that there were three lanes of vehicles dropping off students, in the front of the school.
Now, all lanes have been condensed into one long lane, with a minimum of an eight-minute wait to get students to their classes. The school just announced to students that tardiness, due to the dropoff restrictions will no longer be excused.
So, now a situation has been created that is only hurting everyone. I believe if
the school was to simply open another lane in the back parking lot, and do it
properly, with a proper walkway and curbing, that the influx of vehicles could be absorbed with more fluidity.
At the current pace, the students are being put into a position that can only hurt their academics.
