The school board is about to vote on the new contract with CCEA. Highlights include incentives for teachers filling “hard-to-fill” positions and a “Salary Review and Adjustment Process” (a lookback) to address salary compaction.

New safety enhancements are coming to the roadways near Arbor View High School, including overhead pedestrian-activated flashers. 🚸 Following the tragic crash that took the life of student McKenzie Scott, the city conducted a traffic study and found that all of the traffic safety devices on Buffalo, including the crosswalk, signage and school zone flashers, were functioning properly and are appropriate for the area. As a result of the study, the city will add new signage and repaint the crosswalk on Buffalo Drive this summer.
