Monitoring and Enforcement

Enforcement of drop-off and pick-up rules is important to create a safe drop-off and pick-up environment. A variety of people should enforce the drop-off and pick-up policies, such as:

  • law enforcement officers,
  • school personnel or
  • parent volunteers.
Pick-up and drop-off rules enforcement are important to student safety.

Improving the drop-off and pick-up process at your school will constantly keep students safer. When new drop-off and pick-up plans are implemented, administrators should consider the following recommendations:

  • Ask for help from law enforcement officers. They can ensure traffic flows smoothly during the first few days.
  • Implementing a new plan may also require more volunteers or monitors to regulate parking lot activity in the first few days.
  • A new drop-off plan should start either at the start of the school year or after a break. Administrators need to give sufficient notice to parents and students before a new plan starts.

Let's take a look at parking lot design in the next section.
