LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) – Simply over per week into the brand new faculty yr, and we’re already getting viewer emails about tousled visitors round native campuses.

“I live near a middle school and parents picking up their kids look like the biggest offenders: speeding and making u-turns, sometimes right in front of school police! For my own safety I avoid the school zone if possible.”
Most likely a sensible concept, Alison.
We do not have up to date numbers from the Clark County College District Police, however we all know they handed out no less than 50 tickets on the primary day of lessons final week.
Even with critical accidents – and typically deaths – from children hit by automobiles round colleges, it appears each single mother or father that does what you described – throughout city – should be pondering issues like:
“It might be wrong, but . . .” -OR- “Everybody else is doing it, so . . . ”
In final week’s 8NewsNow “What’s Cool At School?” report, CCSD Superintendent Jhone Ebert and leaders from everywhere in the county spoke up about this, saying they’re working collectively to “create a coordinated, systematic approach to traffic safety in and around school zones.”
Thanks for writing, Alison.
Buckle up, drive fastidiously – and, please put down that telephone!
