Only students who live in the district are permitted to get dropped off in front of the school; the open-enrollment students have to walk up a hill behind the school.
MOGADORE, Ohio — The signs in front of Somers Elementary in Mogadore are welcoming children back to school, but some parents feel like it’s starting off on the wrong foot.The school, in collaboration with police and the mayor, changed its policy this year. It stated that children who are in open-enrollment will have to be dropped off and picked up at the park behind the school. In order to get to and from, they have to walk up a rather steep hill.
Mayor Michael Rick said the decision was made because of the infamous traffic issues that occur during pickup and drop-off time, especially for the residents who live near the school. Rick said he and the police chief went to the district to see what could be done about the traffic issues before the start of the school year.
The school then gave permits to families who live in the district, allowing them to use the front entrance and said anyone who doesn’t have a permit will have to use the park’s parking lot behind the school.“All the kids are walking into this way, grownups are trying to back up to leave. I just feel like a kid is going to get run over,” said Chips.“I think they tried to make this the best choice. but I’m concerned about all the cars in the winter because is it going to be plowed?” Evans saod.
