School Zones

Bulloch County Schools uses school attendance zones and school transportation zones to determine where a child will attend school.   For your convenience, we have provided interactive search engines for both based on your address. To balance capacity at the schools, the school system may adjust an attendance zone or a transportation zone.  These are always communicated first to affected families and then to the public.

What is an Attendance Zone?

Children attend a specific school based on where their parent(s)/guardian(s) live.  This is an attendance zone.  A child may only attend a school outside of their zone if approved for a public school choice transfer (HB 251) or if the child requires special education services that are not available at their zoned school (SB 10).

What is a Transportation Zone?

Transportation zones are bus routes that deliver children to specific schools.  Bulloch County Schools may alter school transportation zones to balance populations between schools. In these instances a child that requires bus transportation may attend a school that is not his/her attendance zone school.

In 2015, Bulloch County Schools did alter the transportation zone for Langston Chapel Elementary and Sallie Zetterower Elementary. If you are new to these schools, check out the Zone Change Notice information below to see if it affects your residential area or contact either school.

In 2018, Bulloch County Schools did alter the transportation zone for Mill Creek Elementary School, and affected students will be moved to either Sallie Zetterower Elementary School or Mattie Lively Elementary School depending on the child’s residence address.

You can use this online tool from the Bulloch County Tax Assessor’s website to find your school zone based on the owner’s name, physical address, lot parcel number of your residence and more. Access Bulloch County Tax Assessor’s website.

Once you have entered the information to search and locate your property and your property information appears, follow these instructions to access your school zone:

• Click once on the Layers tab at the top left of the site menu bar to open the layer options.
• Click on the “zoning” option from the layer menu.
• Check either the elementary, middle or high school box under the school option from the layer menu.
• Your attendance zone school name will appear over your property location on the map.

WebQuery helps you determine the available bus stops if you need transportation services. For the eligible middle and high school, be sure to select the grade level. 

To find your nearest school bus stops: Click on this WebQuery link.  Be sure to enter both your address and the grade level of your child. Once the site determines your school and it appears on the screen, the school’s name is a hyperlink.  Click the name of the school to reveal available bus stops in your area for that school.

Bulloch County Schools regularly monitors its school space capacities based on the student populations and the physical classroom occupancy space at each school. As student populations may rise or fall temporarily or permanently in an area, the school system can balance school capacity by either changing school attendance zones (based on residence address) or transportation zones (bus routes).   The school system has made two transportation zone changes, and these changes will remain in effect.

2018 Transportation Zone Changes

Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Mill Creek Elementary School’s (MCES) students in 2018.  The change will take effect on Aug. 1, 2018. For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children will be transported to either Sallie Zetterower Elementary School (SZES) or Mattie Lively Elementary School (MLES) instead of Mill Creek Elementary, depending on their address. Again, this change only affects students who ride a bus to school. Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools.

2015 Transportation Zone Changes

Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Langston Chapel Elementary’s (LCES) students in 2015. This change took effect on Aug. 3, 2015.  For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children will be transpored to Sallie Zetterower Elementary School instead of Langston Chapel Elementary School, depending on their address. Again this change only affects students who ride a bus to school.  Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools.

SRTS Guide: Around the School

Home > Engineering >

Ideally, the school zone starts at the front door and encompasses the campus and as many blocks as possible that surround the school and have a high concentration of school-generated traffic. Often the school zone includes the streets along the school and usually the area one to two blocks around it. The school zone should be marked with special signing to alert drivers of the high concentration of children. School crossing signs, speed signs, school zone pavement markings and other traffic calming devices remind drivers to treat the area with special care and attention.

Understanding The School Environment

There are generally three zones around the school that you need to think about when doing a Safe Routes to School project: the school enrollment boundary, the school walk zone, and the school zone.

School Enrollment Boundary

The school enrollment boundary is the entire zone around the school from which students are drawn.

School enrollment boundary. Image provided by Dave Parisi.

School Walk Zone

School walk zone. Image provided by Dave Parisi.

The school walk zone is typically a subset of the enrollment zone. School walk zones may be defined by State or Local policy, but if not, a general rule of thumb is that the walking boundary is 1/2 mile or 1-mile out from an elementary school, sometimes further for middle and high schools. The shaded circle on the map above is intended to provide a visual of a “walk zone”, but rarely is the walk zone an exact circle. Some students will live too far away from the school to reasonably be expected to walk, and they are typically provided with bus service. Walk zones defined by policy typically indicate the area within which students are NOT provided with bus service (note that some schools may define this as the no-transport zone, not the walk zone). Determining walk zones, whether policy based or through the general rule-of-thumb, can be helpful in focusing your efforts in identifying engineering problems and solutions.

School Zone

The school zone is the roadway (or roadways) immediately adjacent to the school (shown in red on the map above), usually extending one to two blocks in each direction. Speed limits are often reduced in the school zone during morning and afternoon hours. Special signing is used – crossing signs, speed signs, school zone pavement markings – so that motorists know to treat the area with special care and attention.

Existing Conditions Map

Prior to identifying engineering problems and solutions, it can be helpful to have an “existing conditions map” that identifies where existing sidewalks and pathways are located, where crossing guards are located, and where crosswalks and traffic signals are located. Partners in your local traffic engineering department may be able to provide or create such a map. If not, parents and school staff can conduct a simple walk audit of areas in the walk zone to begin to document existing conditions and identify major concerns.

School Traffic Control Plan

Comprehensive traffic control plan for Kyrene Akimel A-Al Middle School in Phoenix, AZ. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.

A comprehensive traffic control plan – like this one – can benefit the Safe Routes to School program. Comprehensive traffic control plans lay out proposed signing and pavement marking measures, taking into account key streets surrounding the school. These school traffic control plans can also be used during annual school checks of signs and markings.

School Zone Signing and Marking

School zone signs and pavement markings provide important information to drivers to improve safety within the school zone. The 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD), Part 7 sets forth principles and standards for controlling traffic in school areas, although many states and local jurisdictions provide additional guidance. The principles and standards in the MUTCD provide information on appropriate design, application, and maintenance of all traffic control devices (including signs, signals, and markings) and other controls (including adult school crossing guards, student patrols, and grade-separated crossings) required for the special pedestrian conditions in school areas [Federal Highway Administration, 2009].

Some jurisdictions recommend or require school signs that are larger than the sizes of signs recommended by the MUTCD or may allow different types of pavement markings. School zone signs and markings on public streets must comply with the MUTCD as well as consider any relevant local or state guidelines that are themselves consistent with the MUTCD. Signs should be used judiciously, as overuse may lead to driver noncompliance and excessive signs may create visual clutter.

Guidelines for making schools accessible to children with disabilities can be found in the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). ADAAG applies to the school site itself whereas PROWAG addresses the route to school. The Department of Justice established the 1991 ADAAG as a standard, which means that compliance is required for all newly constructed or altered school facilities.

Properly designed and applied traffic calming devices encourage good motorist and pedestrian behavior in the school zone. Traffic calming measures such as high visibility crosswalks, street narrowing and signage can be in place all the time. Since school zones are locations frequented by children, making the area safe and accessible for children anytime of day is a sound investment for the community.

Properly designed and applied accessibility improvements, such as curb ramps, accessible pedestrian signals, and accessible sidewalks and pathways are also sound community investments. They benefit not only children with disabilities but also parents with strollers, senior citizens, and others with permanent or temporary mobility impairments.

Methods for addressing bicyclist and pedestrian safety and accessibility within the school zone will be discussed in this section. Topics include:

• School Speed Limit Sign
• Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign
• Changeable Message Sign
• Portable Speed Feedback Sign
• School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs
• Pavement Markings
• Parking Restrictions

For more information on traffic calming in school zones visit the 2004
PedSafe Guide “School Zone Traffic Calming” Portland,
Oregon, case study.

This diagram from the MUTCD shows typical placement of school advance
warning signs, school speed limit signs, school crossing signs, and “end
school zone” signs.

Treatment: Signing and Marking the School Zone

Description/Purpose

Signs and pavement markings provide important information to drivers
to improve road safety. Examples include retroreflective yellow/green school
advance warning signs and SPEED LIMIT 25 MPH WHEN FLASHING signs.

Marked crosswalks help guide children to the best routes to school.

Expected Effectiveness

The limited empirical evidence suggests that signs and pavement markings
help educate drivers and improve driving behaviors in school zones.

Costs

The cost for signs generally ranges from $100 to $300 per sign plus installation costs (Bushell, Poole, Zegeer, Rodriguez, 2013).
Pavement marking costs vary by type of paint chosen and marking design.

Keys to Success

• Schools should develop “safe routes to school” traffic control
  plans which include sign and marking recommendations.
• Traffic signs
  and pavement markings used on public streets and property must comply
  with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. See
  Chapter 7 of the MUTCD for traffic control used in school areas.

Key Factors to Consider

• Signs should be used judiciously, as overuse may breed driver noncompliance
  and excessive signs may create visual clutter.

Evaluation Measures

• Pedestrian and bicyclist conflicts in School Zone.

School Speed Limit Sign

School flasher speed limit sign at Arrowhead Elementary School in Glendale, AZ. Image provided by Mike Cynecki.

School speed limit signs alert drivers that they are entering a school zone and they need to slow down for school children. The MUTCD provides guidance for installing school area speed limit signs in school zones at a specified distance from marked school crosswalks or a certain distance from the edge of school property. School speed limits vary based on state law and typically range from 15 to 25 mph. These devices are important but should not be overused. Excessive and unreasonable use may lead drivers to ignore the devices. Occasional police enforcement is also needed at these signs.

School flasher speed limit signs are sometimes used on busy streets, where they can help attract drivers’ attention to the school speed limit. School flasher speed limit signs that are activated only during school hours are probably more effective at drawing a driver’s attention compared to school flasher speed limit signs that flash throughout the day [Federal Highway Administration].

Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign

School flasher speed limit signs can be installed overhead for even better driver visibility than side mounted school flasher speed limit signs. The best uses for overhead signs and beacons are at locations where drivers cannot see the marked crosswalk due to topography or other unusual barriers, such as on the crest of a hill or around a curve.

Changeable Message Sign

This solar-powered changeable message sign used in Mill Valley, CA is adjacent to a school and is only operational during the school commute periods.

Permanently mounted changeable message signs are illuminated with messages or speed limits and are used to heighten awareness of speed limits in the school zone or to establish a lower speed during school crossing times. Both solar and non-solar units are available for less than $3,500 per sign (Bushell, Poole, Zegeer, Rodriguez, 2013). While the non-solar equipment is less expensive to purchase, it requires a hard wire connection to a power source, which can be much more expensive.

Speed feedback sign

One type of changeable message sign is a speed feedback sign which shows “Your Speed” and the “Speed Limit” to alert drivers to their actual speed and the posted speed limit. Speed feedback signs can record traffic counts and are programmed via a Personal Digital Assistant. They work best if they flash or provide a SLOW DOWN message if drivers exceed a preset speed threshold. Speed feedback signs still need to be used with other standard speed limit signs, which should be placed in advance of or next to speed feedback signs.

Portable Speed Feedback Sign

Typical portable radar speed trailer.

Portable speed limit signs are movable speed feedback signs that remind drivers of the posted speed limit. Radar speed trailers alert each passing driver to their traveling speed. These machines are used in some jurisdictions along with law enforcement. For example, the signs are put in place, parents are notified that law enforcement will be present, and then officers show up to ticket speeders and drivers who fail to stop for children in marked crosswalks. In other locations, signs are used with no further enforcement activity. Portable speed limit signs are discussed further in Enforcement.

School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs

Example of a school advance warning sign

Example of a school crosswalk sign.

School advance warning signs and school crosswalk signs are important elements of a safe routes to school program. Chapter 7 in the 2009 edition of the MUTCD designates these signs to be used in advance of and at school crossings, and mandates use of fluorescent yellow green color sheeting for all new school warning signs. School advance warning signs must generally be used in advance of the first school crosswalk sign encountered by each direction of traffic. School crosswalk signs shall not be used at crossings other than those adjacent to schools and those on established school pedestrian routes. In addition, the school crosswalk sign shall not be installed at controlled crossings (where vehicle traffic is controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign). The MUTCD and local and state regulations should be followed when considering installation of these signs. They should not be overused or underused; and when installed, they need to be maintained and kept clear of tree branches and other visual obstructions.

Retroreflective yellow-green post covers can be bolted onto sign-posts to draw additional motorist attention to school warning signs. This treatment is permitted in the MUTCD.

Pavement Markings

Pavement markings, or stencils, are an effective way to enhance driver awareness near schools. They can be used to supplement regulations and warnings provided by traffic signs and signals, or they can convey regulations, guidance, and warnings independently.

The use of pavement markings is governed by the MUTCD and by state regulations and guidance. In some cases, state regulations and guidance may differ from the MUTCD. For example, while the MUTCD requires white crosswalks and stencils, California calls for yellow crosswalks and stencils in school zones. Examples of stencils commonly used in school zones include SCHOOL, SLOW SCHOOL X-ING, STOP, and 25 MPH. Check with your local jurisdiction for guidance.

Stencils should be checked annually. Installing stencils with thermoplastic or other plastic materials may cost more initially, but these materials will last longer than paint and reduce long-term maintenance costs. In areas that receive snow, consideration must be given to the fact that stencils may be obscured by snow during the winter months, and that regular plowing may shorten the lifespan of the marking.

Parking Restrictions

Parking restrictions are needed to regulate parent parking, but care must be taken not to push motorists into adjacent neighborhoods or deny parents appropriate and adequate space for parking and drop-off activities. Curb paint and signs can be used individually or together to help convey messages regarding parking restrictions . For additional information, see Part 7 of the MUTCD.

Project description

The idea of ​​the project is to involve school students in leisure activities by creating a recreation area “Take a break!”.

After the call from the lesson, the guys want to leave the classroom to relax. But in our school there is no place where the guys could usefully spend time during breaks, breaks between classes. Children of elementary grades often just run around, not knowing what to do with themselves, and high school students “sit on the Internet.”

Volunteer group “Recruits” wants to organize a cozy space for schoolchildren to spend their free time usefully: play board games (for children and youth), draw, read an interesting book. The students of our school have won many awards, cups, but they are on the shelf in the office, not even every student knows about their existence. Therefore, we want to place a stand with awards in the recreation corner, which will allow the children to experience a sense of pride in their school and encourage them to new achievements.

Purpose

Creation of a school recreation area “Take a break!” for students of MKOU Novoberezovskaya secondary school.

Relevance

Currently, there is no place in MKOU Novoberezovskaya secondary school where schoolchildren could spend their free time in an organized and useful way. At school, a large number of children spend most of the day, because it is not for nothing that the school is called the “second home”.

To identify the problem, a survey of students was conducted:

– Do you think our school needs a recreation area for students? (yes/no)

– What would you like to do during recess?

Analysis of the results of the survey showed that 100% of respondents (42 people) believe that the school needs a recreation area. And during the break I want to play board games, draw, read books or magazines.

Thus, this problem is relevant.

School comfort zones. House of children’s creativity “Izmailovsky” was overhauled

Maria Shilova

City
September 26, 2022

During a working detour of the Admiralteisky District, Governor Alexander Beglov inspected the building of the Izmailovsky Children’s Art House on Rizhsky Prospekt, where a major overhaul was carried out for several years on behalf of the head of Smolny.

PHOTO of the press service of Smolny

Before the revolution, this building belonged to the Kirshten family, the descendants of the founder of the Skorokhod shoe factory. Built in 1878-1879 by architect Andrei Gun, it has a protected status.

The Unconquered Frontier opened in the Krasnoselsky District

The Izmailovsky House of Creativity will turn 85 in 2023, the institution is one of the oldest in the system of additional education for children in St. Petersburg. Due to the budget of the Northern capital, it is visited by 4.5 thousand citizens from 6 to 18 years old. Classes are conducted in 68 educational programs, including financial literacy, aircraft modeling, computer graphics, robotics, local history, art history, and sports disciplines. The institution also has a military history club. The head of the city handed over to the House of Creativity a certificate for an automatic computer place and tickets for children to the Museum of Russian Railways.

The House of Creativity also occupies a neighboring building – the former mansion of the merchant of the first guild Markus Ziv, built at the beginning of the 20th century, a monument of history and culture of federal significance. According to the governor, it will also be restored: in 2023, the development of design estimates for the restoration will begin.

The mayor also inspected the square next to the House of Creativity, landscaped within the framework of the regional project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment. ” It was included in the targeted program on the basis of the vote of St. Petersburg residents on the Your Budget project.

Alexander Beglov reminded that a program of restoration of squares and gardens is being carried out in St. Petersburg, especially in the central regions. At the time of the start of work, the square on Rizhsky Prospekt was in a state of disrepair, there were no paths, playgrounds, benches, urns, and the fence along Rizhsky Prospekt was lost. Comprehensive landscaping in the park was carried out on an area of ​​almost two thousand square meters. Beautiful lanterns and benches appeared here, lawns were laid out, paved paths were made, a fence was installed, 17 trees were planted and 879shrubs.

Now the work is being completed – the colored rubber coating is being laid. The mayor especially appreciated the restoration of the wrought-iron fence in accordance with the historical original: craftsmen-blacksmiths forged almost one and a half thousand details using hot forging in four months.

Also, during the detour of the Admiralteisky district, Alexander Beglov visited school No. 616, a habilitation center with individual forms of education “Dynamics”. The center was opened at the initiative of parents at 1991 year. Since 1993, an inclusive group of children’s sports dance in wheelchairs “Dynamics” has been created here. Later, a school for disabled children with pathology of the musculoskeletal system appeared on its basis. The building of the center was reconstructed in 2006.

Today, 231 children with cerebral palsy and congenital pathologies of the musculoskeletal system study at the school. Specialist doctors work at the school – an orthopedist, a neurologist, a psychologist, a physiotherapist, and a physiotherapist. Children not only study, engage in creativity and sports, but also receive a full range of medical care.

Last year, when the city project “Your Budget in Schools” was announced, the guys from the Dynamics Center won a grant to create a comfort zone. As a result, a mini-cinema, a play area and a recreation area appeared. Also, last year the school won a grant for the project “Social technologies in school education: a full-time distance model.” Thanks to him, you can now study both in full-time and remote formats.

The school has its own garage for transportation of students. During his visit, the governor gave the school a minibus bought by the city on his behalf to transport children with disabilities.

On the same day, the head of the city visited the blockade teacher Nadezhda Vasilievna Strogonova, who turned 102 years old. On behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, Alexander Beglov presented Nadezhda Strogonova with the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree. On her initiative, a memorial plaque was installed on the house on 6th Sovetskaya Street – during the war years, this place was a school on which a bomb fell, then five teachers died. Recently, at the suggestion of Nadezhda Vasilievna, a monument to the blockade teacher was erected in Salt Lane. According to the governor, a decision was made to erect a monument to the besieged physicians nearby.

School Drug-Free Zone

New York City, Manhattan Drug-Free Zone Sign

United States Federal law and many state and local laws increase fines for illegal drug-related activity by Drug Free School Zones . ^{[1] [2]} Penalties differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, depending on whether they are stand-alone or aggravated offenses, and in terms of the remedies available. ^[3]

The United States Congress supplemented the predicate offenses under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. ‘841) with several additional offenses that carry increased maximum penalties if the offenses were committed under certain specific circumstances. For example, section 21 U.S.C.’860 provides that fines for making, distributing, and possessing with intent to distribute are doubled or tripled if the offense is committed within a certain distance of a school or other facility that is regularly used by children. Per federal law, affected areas may include the illegal sale of federally funded drugs on or within one thousand feet of property, including a public or private elementary, vocational, or high school, a public or private college, junior college, or university, or a playground or a public housing development or within 100 feet of a public or private youth center, community pool, or arcade machine. ^[4]

In one state, New Hampshire, Drug Free School Zone is defined as the area that includes any property used for school purposes by any publicly funded elementary school, whether or not such school is owned or no, within 1000 feet of any such property and within or in close proximity to school buses . ^[5]

B No Child Left Behind amended and re-authorized the Safe Schools and Drug-Free Communities Act (SDFSCA) as Part A of 21st Century Schools. No Child Left Behind has funded the SDFSCA program, which is the federal government’s flagship initiative to prevent drug-related violence in and around schools.
