Safe Route to School
As part of the safety plan implemented by local Law Enforcement, Stratton created a variety of routes for the students to take that are deemed “safe” by the authority figures
Includes bus routes, car routes, walking paths, and biking paths
Triangle, Circle, and Square for pick-up
27
Safety of School
The school has a local police
officer at the entrance before and
after school to assure that any children walking are kept safe.
There is also a crossing guard present on the corner for the bus riders and walkers. This is provided by the Champaign Police Department.
The ultimate goal is to increase the visibility of Police Officials around Stratton
28
Bus Systems
Stratton busses in students from all parts of Champaign.
Some of the busses are completely full. Because there are so many students on the bus,
the pick-ups have to start so early.
29
New Issue with the Bus One of Stratton’s busses was seating 96 students. This is an issue because the state
does not allow over 70 students to
sit on a bus. Some of the students
were sitting four to a seat. On Monday that bus route started
with a new driver who refused to drive that many students. Now, about 26 students (Shadow Wood) have to sit on the
ground outside of the school and wait 10 minutes until after the other busses have left until their new bus comes.
