Xaverian Adds Safety Measures Around Their School
Xaverian High School at 7100 Shore Road is doing construction to add a new extension to their school. They have added some safety measures to keep their students safe and also help with traffic in the area.
Tonight, Xaverian presented the safety measures they are taking to Community Board 10:
a) Xaverian staggered dismissal. The middle school students at Xaverian leave from 2:15 – 2:20 pm. The high school students leave at 2:30 pm. The administration is already seeing the benefit of this.
b) Xaverian rented parking spaces from Propark for their faculty and have a shuttle bus to take the teachers from the parking area to the school (as well as return the faculty to their cars at the end of the day).
c) Xaverian added crossing guards at dismissal (see the blue circles on the map above).
d) A site safety manager is at the school every day – all day.
e) Two teachers, administrators or staff members will be on each block to help students move along at dismissal – on the map above the faculty are the red triangles on the map.
Many Xaverian students leave by bus, so it is very busy around the school at dismissal for 15 minutes.
The construction project at Xaverian should take 16-18 months (which is less than originally planned – at two years).
