Dear CUHSD Families,
Last month, the tragic news of an elementary school student losing their life near school shook our community. Since then, there has been increased attention on prioritizing pedestrian safety on crosswalks across the city, including near our high schools.
Just last week, one of our very own students was riding his bicycle home from school when he was sideswiped by a driver at a crosswalk. Luckily the student sustained no major injuries.
Every day, CUHSD Administrators and Campus Supervisors do their best to safeguard students and direct traffic to avoid accidents like these, but they can not do it alone. Our students need community support to make safer routes to school a reality. It is for this reason that I write to you today.
I ask that you:
For more information on what the City of San Jose is doing to improve pedestrian safety, please visit the San Jose Police Department’s School Safety and Education webpage and the San Jose Vision Zero webpage. For more information on what the City of Saratoga is doing to improve pedestrian safety, visit the Saratoga Safe Routes to School website.
Sincerely, |
Robert Bravo, Ed.D. Superintendent |
