LHI <br /> APEL HILL- <br /> ORO <br /> igCITY SCHOOLS <br /> Walkable School Zones <br /> The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is committed to providing safe, connected <br /> and engaged schools within our community. As such, the Board of Education <br /> includes walkable school zones as part of the student assignment priorities within <br /> local policy and as a critical component within any redistricting plans. <br /> Students that live within 1.5 miles of a school are considered in the "walk zone" and <br /> are not provided school bus transportation unless: <br /> • factors are present which may endanger the safety of students walking to the <br /> school; <br /> • a student is medically certified as temporarily incapacitated; <br /> • a student is identified as having special needs following procedures in the <br /> North Carolina Procedures Governing Programs and Services for Children <br /> with Special Needs and will be provided with transportation services as <br /> required by law <br /> The district further supports walk-to-school initiatives by permanent assignment of <br /> twenty school crossing guards to serve at several key intersections each morning and <br /> afternoon to assist students to safely cross roadways. <br /> Our school crossing guards support the following schools: <br /> • Carrboro Elementary School - 5 <br /> • Culbreth Middle School - 1 <br /> • Ephesus Elementary School -1 <br /> • Estes Hills Elementary School/Phillips Middle School - 4 <br /> • McDougle Elementary & Middle School - 1 <br /> • Northside Elementary School - 5 <br /> • Rashkis Elementary School - 1 <br /> • Scroggs Elementary School - 1 <br /> • Smith Middle School/Chapel Hill High School— 1 <br />
