The School Board, at its August 5, 2009 meeting, endorsed the Welcome Back to School Safety Flyer. This safety initiative was sponsored by Ms. Hantman and developed by the Public School Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST) in collaboration with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine / WalkSafe Program.
The CTST recognizes that student pedestrian safety initiatives at the classroom level are an important component of overall traffic safety in the schools and surrounding communities. As such, in addition to promoting the WalkSafe Program during the Walk to School Day Events, the CTST wished to start the new school year 2009-10 with a resounding safety message that aggressively promotes student traffic safety at the elementary, middle and high school levels. In this regard, it developed a safety flyer for distribution at all schools to parents, studetns and teachers, which was also translated to Spanish and Creole.
Distribution was handled via the District Weekly Briefing format, and postings on school Web sites.
