Of course, when they get back to their vehicles with their DC, they will opt to leave the swimming pool parking lot and make a “left hand turn”— what the principal deems as such an unsafe practice. How ironic.

The left hand turn into the Chesterbrook school parking lot during pick up and drop off time has always been treacherous. Old Chesterbrook road being so close on the opposite side of Kirby makes it more so. A left hand turn out of the Chesterbrook swimming pool is nothing in comparison.

Chesterbrook parents got a risk adverse Principal after what happened to the prior one. It took more than a year (and more than one search) to find one willing to be Principal.

If the Chesterbrook swimming pool is being use as a staging ground for the sidewalk project, maybe they can use St. Dunstan's parking lot. They can put the kids that need to be picked up on a bus and take them there, or walk them there.

I see a lot of parents turning around or waiting in the church lot.

what time does Brookfield end?

Our old school did this and 95% of parents were respectful. That obnoxious 5% blocked people in the beighborhood. You have to be a complete a$$ to block someone's driveway, but they did it despite repeated reminders because nothing matters more than their needs.

It seemed like more parents are parking at pool and walking this morning.

Drove by at 3:15 today and parents were lined up past the houses already

I also noted that in addition to the soon to be worked on sidewalk on Kirby, there is a new Mc Mansion or two with truckloads and workers coming and going. Plus, the white ribbons are going to require tearing down some fences, hedges, and large trees. This will be an ongoing project for a while

The backup on Kirby this afternoon was bad again.
Cars are still blocking the side roads. Cars are flying around the overly extended kiss and ride line requiring them to travel down the opposing lane of traffic. Near head on collisions…

Sounds like the parents at this school can’t be trusted to follow kids and ride procedures so the kiss and ride line should be canceled.

Just have an administrator come out and check on things. That seems to have helped where we are. Comes out every day and usually only a few still act like entitled jerks so they get spoken too. The rest shape up.

saw the principal out on guard duty in the morning last week. She needs to serve guard duty in the afternoon and take a look up Kirby

yes, that’s what the principal requires. You would have to drive past the school, go all the way to beyond the end of the line and then turn into a side street, turn around, and come back out on Kirby to join the end of the line.

I wonder if the school is short staffed. I keep seeing the front receptionist now outside guarding the bus loop in the morn.
