SCHOOL PARKING
Trustee Noone advised the Board that she has reviewed the parking issue surrounding the school dismissal. She will change around the location of the “No Parking” signs to allow parking on one side of the street to allow cars facing away from Munsey park School. This is in an attempt to provide safer conditions for pedestrians and drivers during dismissal. She hopes to have the parking situation implemented at the beginning of November for a test run.

Trustee Noone will also look into that situation.
