I can't remember if it was on the parentsplace board or the CPS Yahoo list... but at some point in the past few years there were a few policies posted of elementary school pick up/drop off line policies.
A friend of mine is facing a new "rule" in their line where they are ONLY allowed to exit the vehicles on the curb side in order to "expidite" the movement of the line. Problem is her youngest child's convertible seat is installed there (mini van) and the two elder siblings can't climb over him and need to use the driver's side door.
The school is pushing back, telling mom that her only alternative is to park a block (and a crosswalk) away and walk the kids in and out every day (dragging youngest sib back and forth).
I get the impression from mom that there really isn't a set "policy" and they are making up rules as they go. If I could give her one or two to peek at, maybe she could be the voice of reason in her conversation w/ the principal!
I'd appreciate any insight into line policies... thanks!
