With all students in grades pre-K through 12 now attending Carrollton
schools at one complex on Scio Road (state Route 332), traffic has increased and
prompted Carrollton Village Council to reduce the speed limit from 45 to 25
mph.
Motorists should be aware that the new speed
limit from Public Square south on South Lisbon Street (state Route 332) is now 25
miles per hour.
Carrollton Schools Superintendent David Davis said school
officials have notified parents and students of the following traffic flow and
how they are to enter and exit.
For all elementary students, drop-off and
pick-up — all parents must use the designated loop to drop off and pick up
their student(s). Elementary parents must use Industrial Drive. There are no
park-and-walk-in options.
For all high school and middle school student
drop-offs and pick-ups — all parents must use the loops to drop off and pick up
their student(s). Middle school parents must use Industrial Drive. High school
parents and student drivers are to use the main drive.
Open house well attended
The open house for all students held Aug. 19
was well attended, including an estimated 90% of the more than 1,000 elementary students, according to school officials. Visitors included students,
parents, grandparents and interested citizens who toured all three sections of
the complex, including the new elementary, middle school and high school.
