PARENT TO PARENT Bradley School Site Council Newsletter December 2007 By Andrea Carlos Willy, Parent Safety and Traffic Improvements As we all know we are in the middle of testing strategies to improve safety and traffic flow in and around Bradley School. We are working to find the safest way to handle bus and car loading and unloading while maintaining a clear flow of traffic on Corralitos Rd. Thank you all for your cooperation and comments, which have helped us fine-tune the system during this testing period. Please send comments to Mrs. Arola in writing/email, kathy_arola@pvusd.net or drop a note in the office so your comments can be shared with the Transportation Department at the District.
