1. 1. Permits and open enrollment have increased over time. When permitting, they are starting to allow permits into multiple schools to give parents multiple choices.
   2. Parking lot: East side observations: Due to the line being closer to the crosswalk, cars stop before the crosswalk and there is some confusion. West side moves more smoothly because the crosswalk is at the end of the line. We will talk about safety patrol, teachers, and try to educate Watchdogs on crosswalk protocol.
