Morning Drop Off Policy
During the past school year, sixth grade students were invited to design solutions around the morning drop-off procedures on Killington Avenue. With support from Assistant Principal Lila Millard and Vermont Energy Education Program (VEEP) Educator Laura MacLachlan, students observed and documented the challenges with the current drop-off location. In the spring, a smaller group of students reviewed the evidence collected and engineered a solution for morning drop-off procedures including infrastructure changes.
With the help of Allegra Williams, Local Motion Community Technical Assistance Manager, the team produced a plan and presented it to the Rutland Traffic Safety Committee.
