  1. SACS No Transportation ZonesUpdate: 2014

  2. Goal • To align and update SACS “No Transportation Zones” Or NTZ’s

  3. Why? • Fiscal Responsibility: At a time when many districts are planning to eliminate all transportation services because of budget cuts, SACS is being fiscally proactive, positioning the district to continue transportation services for those who do not live in an NTZ • Fairness: We enforce No Transportation Zones at three of our elementary schools • Fitness: Research supports that when parents enable students to walk/ ride a bike to school, they are healthier, calmer and more alert

  4. No Transportation Zone Guidelines • Elementary: one mile • Middle School: 1.5 miles • High School: 1.5 miles *Guidelines based upon common practices

  5. Current SACS No Transportation Zones • HES, WMES and DRES currently have established NTZ’s

  11. Proposed Future NTZ’s: 2015-16 • WMS • CES • AES

  12. Woodside and Covington • WMSdoes not currently have a NTZ • WMS has adjoining paths to and from school • Work will be done to refurbish current paths to area subdivisions • A path will be created to connect CovingtonElementary to existing sidewalks and area neighborhoods

  13. Woodside Projected NTZ:2015-16

  14. Covington Projected NTZ: 2015-16

  15. Other SACS Consideration for NTZ • Aboite • LME

  16. Aboite Elementary • AES does not currently have a NTZ • AES does not currently have adjoining paths to and from school • School officials will investigate the possibility of creating an infrastructure to connect paths

  17. LME • LME does not currently have a NTZ • LME is a rural area with one adjoining path to and from school • No student lane exists to allow students to cross • We will look at LME in the future as the infrastructure changes
