Traffic and safety

What highway engineers hath wrought: “During the 1960s, 42 percent of schoolchildren walked or biked to class. Today, the share has fallen to roughly 11 percent, only 1 percent of whom bike, according to Federal Highway Administration data.” The resistance to this legacy begins with the #bike bus: “A few parents can lay out a route with a mapping tool, like Felt or Google My Maps, and then recruit a few families to join. The time commitment can be as little as a few hours per week, time otherwise spent in a car.” Will politicians and planners help this movement by working to make streets safer, instead of focusing on motorist convenience? https://lnkd.in/eHUcAmRT (khp)

Kremmling, CO is one of the coldest spots in the state during the winter. And the West Grand County School District, the district serving students in Kremmling, is operating electric buses to take the kids to school, even in the winter! The district also received a grant recently from the US EPA to purchase more electric school buses. Check out the story below to learn why the district loves #electric #schoolbuses!

What a refreshing concept - leaning into traditional values to develop our kids. https://lnkd.in/g-MWyua2

Back to school can mean lots of new beginnings- including that start of your school district's all electric journey. Check out these resources from Rewiring America to get started: https://hubs.la/Q02NtJ_D0

The fire is located in the front of the bus and in this case the front door is usable and thechildren were able to exit. What would happen if the front door is not accessible and bus driver not able to assist our precious cargo? Currently, children have to jump off the rear edge of the bus which is 38-40” high. This is inefficient and unsafe for 21st century safety. Children will jump and trample over each other in the event of a real life fire. The fire is not the issue but the black billowing toxic smoke. If this bus was full of students they must be exited in 1:16 or be suffocated by the smoke. I am seeking help to get a emergency egress ramp on all new buses. Proactive safety is always better than reactive safety.

Do you believe public education holds worth? We do. And we show it by investing in the people who lead our public schools. Stronger superintendents, principals and teachers are the secret ingredient to great schools that create brighter futures for students. Learn more at holdsworthcenter.org.

Another way to reduce cognitive load and increase concentration during core learning times. Managing the flow between focused learning, independent practice and purposeful collaboration requires thoughtful consideration. #scienceoflearning #cognitiveload #focus
