PREFACE

The City of Ashland and the Ashland City School System have joined together to prepare the following documentation for a Safe Routes to School Travel Plan. It should be noted that for the 2012-2013 school year, the Ashland City School System is implementing a new alignment of the school buildings for it’s elementary grades as follows:

SCHOOL BUILDING

CURRENT CONFIGURATION

CONFIGURATION AS OF 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR

EDISON ELEMENTARY

K – 6TH K – 3RD

OSBORN ELEMENTARY

K – 6TH 4TH – 6TH

TALF ELEMENTARY K – 6TH K – 3RD

All documentation provided in this School Travel Plan is based on information from the prior building configuration, as there is no data currently available for the new school building configurations. Once new data is available, our School Travel Plan will be updated and resubmitted. It is our goal to continually update and modify our School Travel Plan to address the concerns and travel needs of the students as we become aware of them.

1A. The statistics quoted below for student enrollment at each building was completed using

data available through the Ohio Department of Education 2010-2011 Local Report Card for Ashland City Schools. (See www.reportcard.ohio.gov). It should be noted that the Ashland City School system is implementing grade school realignments for the school calendar year 2012- 2013. Changes being implemented have been highlighted under the Grades Served column. Data for the realigned schools is not currently available.

ASHLAND CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

BYLAWS & POLICIES 8510 - WELLNESS

In response to the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition and Women, Infants and Children Act, the Board directs the Superintendent/designee to develop and maintain a student wellness program.

The student wellness program:

A. Includes goals for nutrition education, physical activity and other school-based activities designed to promote student wellness;

B. Includes nutrition guidelines for all foods available in the District during the school day in order to promote student health and reduce childhood obesity;

C. Provides assurance that District guidelines for reimbursable school meals are, at a minimum, equal to the guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; and

D. Establishes a plan of implementation and evaluation, including designating one or more persons within the District with the responsibility for ensuring that the District is compliant with Federal Law.

Development of the student wellness program must be a collaborative effort between parents, students, food service workers, administrators, the Board and the public.

SECTION 2: OUR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL VISION

The City of Ashland and the Ashland City School system have joined together to make our

schools more accessible and safe for our students and parents to walk or bike to and

from school. This will encourage both students and parents to engage in more

meaningful lifelong physical activity that will help combat the nation’s growing obesity

rate. The Ohio Department of Health conducted statewide Body Mass Index studies of

Ohio’s third graders during the period of 2004-2010. In both periods reported, 2004-

2005 and 2009-2010, Ashland County third graders ranked in the 40-49% prevalence of

overweight/obesity.

We will blend this venture with the Ashland City School’s Wellness Program. Our goal is

to address the issues that impede active transportation and seek to strategically solve

these problems by implementing a Safe Routes to School Travel Plan.

Our community desires to pursue a Safe Routes to School program because:

3C. Ashland City School District policies that impact students walking or bicycling to

school are:

DISTRICT BUS POLICIES

Policy: If a child resides less than one mile from their home school, they are not eligible for bus transportation.

How it affects student travel modes: The State of Ohio recommends a two mile bus eligibility zone for elementary students, but the Ashland City Schools only enforce a one mile eligibility zone. All students living less than one mile from school must either walk, bicycle, car pool or make other arrangements to get to and from their school. Car-pooling of students increases congestion around the school building during drop-off and pickup times, along with creating traffic safety impacts.

SECTION 3: CURRENT STUDENT TRAVEL DATA PER SCHOOL

9

SCHOOL TRAVEL POLICIES

Policy: The current Ashland City School’s Bicycle Policy is that the child should be in at least the 4th grade or higher in order to ride their bicycles to school. The Board of Education regards the use of bicycles for travel to and from school by students as an assumption of responsibility on the part of those students; a responsibility in the care of property, in the observation of safely rules and in the display of courtesy and consideration towards others.

How it affects student travel modes: The current Bicycle Policy causes the number of students bicycling to school to decrease due to the age restriction. Families who may have an older child, plus younger children may not allow the riding of bicycles to school since all family members can not ride together.

3D. SCHOOL ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCESS AT ASHLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL:

Do school buses and parent vehicles use the same driveway for arrival and dismissal? X Yes, all vehicles use the same driveway. No, there are separate driveways for family vehicles and school buses.

Do all students use the same entrance to the school building in the morning? Yes, all students enter the building at the same location. X No, students can use different entrances.

Students use multiple entrances on three sides of the building. Bus students use three of the four entrances.

Are all students released at the same time during dismissal? Yes, all students are released at the same time. X No, we use a staggered release process (walkers are released first, bus riders second, etc.).

Bus students are released five minutes prior to walkers. This ensures the safety of non-bus riders to exit our building. Is school staff involved in either arrival or dismissal?

X Yes, we have school staff help students enter and exit the campus safely. No, school staff is not involved in either arrival or dismissal.

We have two (2) morning duty staff members who monitor entrances and one (1) after school staff member. These are paid positions.

Are there any adult crossing guards located along student walking routes? Yes, we have at least one adult crossing guard that helps students on their

walking routes. X No, we do not have any adult crossing guards serving our school.

10

The middle school is located on Cottage Street with the front doors 15 feet

from the street. This creates pick-up and drop-off safety concerns. Bus traffic is

limited to the other main entrance creating the same problem for parents.

Inadequate sidewalks in the neighborhood surrounding the school are another

concern. Students in winter months are forced to walk in the street creating

additional safety concerns. Several parents expressed concern about the safety

of the neighborhood due to a number of registered sexual predators being

located in the general area of the middle school.

Are there police officers that help with arrival or dismissal procedures at this school? Yes, we have at least one police officer helping direct traffic around our school. X No we do not have police officers who help direct traffic around the school.

Are students involved in any arrival or dismissal process (i.e. student safety patrol)? Yes, we have a student safety patrol. X No, we do not have a student safety patrol.

3E. PARENT ATTITUDES TOWARDS WALKING AND BIKING. At the end of February 2012, the Ashland Middle School sent the Parent’s Survey to each home via mail along with their March Newsletter. The responses received indicated the following reasons parents do not allow their middle school children to walk/bike to school:

Reasons for not allowing children to walk or bicycle to school:

Distance

Amount of Traffic along Route

Sidewalks or Pathways

Time

Speed of Traffic along route

Weather

Safety of Intersections and Crossing

Violence or Crime –(Bullying)

3F. Traffic safety issues and concerns regarding input from Parent Surveys tallied and information gathered from the school staff include:

X Yes, we have at least one adult crossing guard that helps students on their walking routes. No, we do not have any adult crossing guards serving our school.

Edison Elementary has one (1) adult crossing guard that oversees the Sandusky Street (St. Rt. 96)/Brookside Drive intersection.

14

St. Rt. 96/Sandusky Street is a major thoroughfare in Ashland. It has a

significant amount of truck traffic as well as automobile traffic. We also have a

tar/paving company behind the school with that truck traffic using Masters

Avenue that crosses the first major crossing zone for students leaving the

school. There are two major crossing points for students that live or walk

to/from the Brookside Park area. There are many crossing zones that need to

be monitored for the safety of our students.

Are there police officers that help with arrival or dismissal procedures at this school? Yes, we have at least one police officer helping direct traffic around our school.

X No we do not have police officers who help direct traffic around the school.

Are students involved in any arrival or dismissal process (i.e. student safety patrol)?

X Yes, we have a student safety patrol. No, we do not have a student safety patrol.

Students have been trained to help students cross streets safely.

3E. PARENT ATTITUDES TOWARDS WALKING AND BIKING. In February of 2012, Edison Elementary School handed out Parent Surveys to the students to be taken home, completed and returned. Here follows is a break-down of reasons why parents do not allow their students to walk or ride their bikes to school:


Speed of traffic along routes

Amount of traffic along routes

All students living less than one mile from school must either walk, bicycle, car pool or make other arrangements to get to and from their school. Car-pooling of students makes for a lot more congestion around the school building during drop-off and pickup times, along with additional traffic safety issues.

3D. SCHOOL ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCESS AT OSBORN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:



Do all students use the same entrance to the school building in the morning?

X Yes, all students enter the building at the same location. No, students can use different entrances.

Are all students released at the same time during dismissal?

X Yes, all students are released at the same time. No, we use a staggered release process (walkers are released first, bus riders

second, etc.).

Is school staff involved in either arrival or dismissal?


In the morning, a teacher monitors the drop off point at the side entrance. In the afternoon, at the back of the school, a teacher has six cars pull up at a time, the teacher calls the 6 students, loads them into their respective cars and dismisses them.

Are there any adult crossing guards located along student walking routes?


There is an adult crossing guard at the Holbrook and Cleveland Avenue intersection that is paid for by the City.

18

Osborn Elementary has one adult manning the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Holbrook. All other street crossings around our school are covered by elementary-aged students who are responsible to cross their peers at the beginning and end of each school day at extremely busy intersections around our school. The traffic in this area is also very congested at the beginning and end of each school day. Police presence would assist in enforcing the laws that are designed to protect students during these times and help insure their safety as they go and come to school as there are concerns regarding sexual predators living in the area.





In the morning and at 3:20 PM dismissal, student safety patrols are stationed at Holbrook at Main, E. Liberty & Edgehill, E Liberty & Main, Miller & Main, E Walnut & Main, Washington & Main and Eastern & E. Liberty. They assist students at these points crossing the street.

3E. PARENT ATTITUDES TOWARDS WALKING AND BIKING. In February of 2012, Osborn Elementary School handed out Parent Surveys to the students to be taken home, completed and returned. Here follows is a break-down of reasons why parents do not allow their students to walk or ride their bikes to school:

All students living less than one mile from school must either walk, bicycle, car pool or make other arrangements to get to and from their school. Car-pooling of students makes for a lot more congestion around the school building during drop-off and pickup times, along with additional traffic safety issues.

21




3D. SCHOOL ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCESS AT TAFT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:



Do all students use the same entrance to the school building in the morning? Yes, all students enter the building at the same location.

X No, students can use different entrances.

There are three entrances to Taft Elementary School: Smith Road, Budd Street and the Parking Lot.

Are all students released at the same time during dismissal? Yes, all students are released at the same time.

X No, we use a staggered release process (walkers are released first, bus riders second, etc.).

At 3:00 all bus students are moved to the gym. At 3:05 all walkers are dismissed. At 3:08 all car riders are dismissed via parents entering the building and retrieving their children in the cafeteria.

Is school staff involved in either arrival or dismissal?


Teachers escort students to the cafeteria (car riders), the gym (bus riders) or the doors (walkers). There is paid staff in the cafeteria, gym and outside. Are there any adult crossing guards located along student walking routes?


For the crossing at Claremont Avenue only.

22

The lack of sidewalks on the opposite side of the school on Smith Road and on Budd Avenue is a problem. There is no clearly defined area for students to walk and cars park over the areas that students can walk. Only having two school funded crossing guards next year is a concern. The parking lot is another concern for drop off and pick up, in that, it cannot handle large numbers of cars and the back up on Budd Avenue can be dangerous. Also, cars tend to not obey the school zone in the fall and spring months.





Students are assigned posts around the building to direct the walkers.

3E. PARENT ATTITUDES TOWARDS WALKING AND BIKING. In February of 2012, Taft Elementary School handed out Parent Surveys to the students to be taken home, completed and returned. Here follows is a break-down of reasons why parents do not allow their students to walk or ride their bikes to school:

5A. Non-infrastructure Countermeasure Recommendations: The

Ashland Safe Routes to School team is very concerned about the childhood obesity rate in the United States. We feel that incorporating walking and biking as a part of a normal school day would ensure that children are getting exercise in their day. The team wants to make walking and biking to school a safe and enjoyable experience. It will be important that any non-infrastructure projects put into place become a consistent part of the school culture, year after year. Events will need to be publicized in school newsletters, on the Ashland City School website and in the local media.

Due to the recent reorganization of the four (4) elementary schools and the November 6, 2012 passing of a school bond levy for the building of a new middle school and a new elementary school, which will eventually close the current Middle School and Osborn Elementary, the team has elected to re-evaluate the School Travel Plan and update it with more measures at a later date. (See Supporting Documents attached for details of the two new proposed schools). Here follows are short-term plans to be implemented at the schools to reach out and encourage our students to live healthier lifestyles by incorporating walking and bicycling into their daily lives.

EDUCATIONAL COUNTERMEASURES: The goal of the Ashland Safe Routes to

School team is to teach pedestrian and bicycle safety and to create awareness of the benefits of active transportation to the students at the elementary and Middle School level.

EDUCATION Issue Countermeasure

1) Need to encourage safe bicycle riding

Bicycle Rodeo to be organized by the Ashland City Police Department. The goal would be to hold one event for kinder-garten through eighth grade students that would teach students bicycle safety and procedures, have bikes checked for safety issues and a riding course for training. The goal is to make this a fun event with prizes for participation. The team would also like to purchase bike racks for the schools in an effort to encourage bicycling to school.

SECTION 5: RECOMMENDED SRTS COUNTERMEASURES

29

EDUCATION (Continued) Issue Countermeasure

2) Childhood obesity The team would like to enhance the school’s Physical Education programs to encourage SRTS walking and biking. Safe walking and bicycling practices should be included in the school curriculum.

3) Program needs to be publicized as much as possible to encourage a healthy lifestyle by walking and bicycling to school.

The team would like to use the services of the Ashland High School Video Department to produce a video encouraging students and parents to participate in the SRTS Program. This would be available for PTO meeting, school classrooms, the Ashland City School website and include it on the Ashland City School’s local television station, Channel 72.

ENCOURAGEMENT COUNTERMEASURES: The Ashland Safe Routes to

School team would like to generate interest in walking and biking among its students and parents. Our goal is to make the program fun, with special events to remind parents and children that walking and bicycling are good ways to travel to and from school. The encouragement phase of our plan in essence runs jointly with the educational and enforcement aspects of our plan.

ENCOURAGEMENT Issue Countermeasures

1) Childhood obesity continues to be a problem in the United States. For the health of our children, we must encourage them to partake in daily physical activity in order to instill a healthier lifestyle.

Participate in the International Walk to School Day in October of each year to include active transportation as a theme to promote the Safe Routes to School plan.

Create “Walking Clubs” at the schools to encourage physical activity. Teachers could chart the progress of students and establish rewards for individuals or classrooms for meeting specific goals.

Promote the Safe Routes to School program on the Ashland City School’s website, school newsletters and set up tables in the hallways during Parent/Teacher conferences with literature to encourage an active lifestyle.

30

ENFORCEMENT COUNTERMEASURES: It is imperative that the Ashland Safe

Routes to School team make every effort to discourage unsafe behaviors by drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. Enforcement of traffic laws and school procedures should be of utmost importance to create a safe area for students to walk and bicycle to school. Parents in some areas have shown concern regarding the safety of their students regarding possible violence (bullying) or crime (sexual predators) which deters their approval of allowing their children to walk and/or bike to school.

ENFORCEMENT Issue Countermeasure

1) Lack of crossing guards at heavily crossed intersections. The training of current crossing guards needs to be increased also to improve their knowledge and ability to provide the necessary assistance.

Provide crossing guard training program through the City Police Department. Purchase equipment necessary for crossing guards to perform their duties. Initiate an award system to make the crossing guard position one of prestige. Possibly create an Adult Volunteer Program.

2) The speed of traffic in school zones needs to be addressed.

Prioritize emphasis on traffic and school policies in school zone areas; with special interest during arrival and dismissal times.

3) (Edison School) – There is major congestion on Scott Street and Masters Avenue in the mornings and evenings. Parents are lining up 45 minutes prior to arrival/ dismissal times.

Create a specified “Drop Zone/Safe Zone” within one-half mile of the school so that parents can drop off and pick up their students without causing traffic congestion on the streets leading up to the school.

4) Enforcement of school policies for the arrival and dismissal of students.

Continue to enlist teachers to be present outside of school buildings during arrival/dismissal periods to ensure compliance with procedures.

EVALUATION COUNTERMEASURES: The Ashland Safe Routes to School

team desires to monitor the changes that will be implemented in both the non-infrastructure and infrastructure areas of the School Travel Plan. The team will monitor the improvements that have been made to determine what has worked, what needs continued improvement and what additional concerns the students and parent may have so that our School Travel Plan can be kept up to date and current with our stakeholders; the parents and students of our district.

31

EVALUATION Issue Countermeasure

In order to track the success of our improvements and to determine additional measures to be undertaken, the Ashland Safe Routes to School will:

Re-administer the School Travel Talley forms each year to determine if there has been any change in the number of students walking or biking to school since infrastructure projects have been completed.

Redistribute the Parent Surveys each year to determine if additional changes and improvements should be made.

The Safe Routes to School team will meet at least quarterly each year to evaluate ongoing efforts and to plan new programs and projects for the schools with emphasis on updating the School Travel Plan to meet current conditions.

1. In February of 2012, information was collected by the core team through Parent Surveys that were passed out to all elementary school students at Taft Elementary, Edison Elementary and Osborn Elementary. The surveys were taken home by the students for the parents to complete and return to the school. The Parent Surveys were also sent in the quarterly newsletter that was mailed directly to the parents of the Ashland Middle School students. The parents were then asked to complete the survey and return it to the Middle School.

From the information collected from these surveys, the Safe Routes to School team was able to pinpoint the top five (5) issues of each school as to what parents are most concerned about and what discourages parents from allowing their children to walk or bike to school. These issues are detailed under Section 3, Item E of each individual school.

2. In September of 2012, the homeroom teachers at each of the four (4) targeted schools were provided with Student Tally surveys. The teachers were asked to survey students regarding arrival and departure travel modes on two separate days (Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday) at the beginning of the day for two (2) days during the week in order to track the pattern of how the students arrive to school and how they were planning to return home at the end of the day. From these surveys it showed that most all students travel to and from school by either school bus or family vehicles. There was substantially no difference regarding which day of the week was tallied. The weather was sunny on all occasions, so no information was gathered regarding weather related differences. The detailed data from these surveys can be found under Section 3, Item B of each individual school.

3. On Monday, September 17, 2012, Julie Cichello and Kathryn Sharpnack of Ohio Department of Transportation Department District Three assisted the Safe Routes to School team during the dismissal of student observations at the target schools. As a part of this task, they met with a select group of students at the Ashland Middle School prior to the dismissal of school to obtain their thoughts and input as to walking and bicycling to school. Some of the student comments were: (a) the bad condition of some sidewalks; (b) lack of driver attention and speed; (c) difficulty of crossing Main Street and Claremont Avenue and (d) feeling unsafe walking through bad parts of town. The key issues arising from these observations can be found under Section 4 of each individual school.

SECTION 6: PUBLIC INPUT

4. On October 30, 2012, the Safe Routes to School Program was presented at the Ashland City School’s bond levy public forum held at McDowell Auditorium of the Ashland Middle School on Cottage Street, Ashland, Ohio. School administrators, parents, teachers and local citizens attended this public forum. Superintendent Marrah explained that the City of Ashland and the Ashland City Schools are jointly preparing a School Travel Plan to be filed with the Ohio Department of Transportation in hopes of obtaining grant funds to provide and promote safe walking and biking to the current schools. If funds are awarded, money would be used for the education and encouragement of walking and biking to school for the health of students, the enforcement of both travel laws and school policies to make walking and biking to school safe for our students, and for the evaluation of any changes that are made using these government funds.

Another portion of the grant is for engineering to create safer passage for the students. This could include improved crosswalks, lighting, sidewalk upgrades and/or installation of non-existent sidewalks, etc. If anyone has any suggestions and/or thoughts regarding this program, it was suggested they contact the Ashland City Engineer’s Office.

5. On November 19, 2012 at 7:00 p.m., Mr. Shane Kremser, the Ashland City Engineer, presented an overview of the Safe Routes to School Grant to the Board of Education and audience. Mr. Kremser also used this opportunity during the televised Board meeting to seek public input.

OUR NEW SCHOOLS

In November of 2012, the citizens of the Ashland City School District passed

a bond levy for the building of a new elementary school building and a new

Middle School on lands already owned by the school district. The school

administrators are now working with an architect for the design of the buildings

and look forward to moving into the buildings in the fall/winter of 2014.

The new middle school will be built on the vacant land to the south of the

high school, behind the horticulture area. It will be a separate building from the

high school with its own parking and entrance. Placing the buildings next to each

other allows middle school students to use the high school’s auditorium and

athletic fields, and both buildings can share the same bus drop-off area.

The elementary school will go on Duff Field which sits on East Main Street,

behind the Samaritan Regional Health System building. The new elementary

school sits in close proximity to the current Osborn Elementary School which will

be demolished once the new elementary school is erected.

Attached hereto are location aerials of where the new buildings will sit in

conjunction with existing school properties.
