Public Notice from the Director of Public Works
The parking ban for this storm has officially been lifted and will expire at 5:00 PM today.
If you parked your vehicle in any public school parking lot during the ban, you must remove your vehicle no later than 5:00 PM.
Public Works crews have several hours of critical snow removal work remaining to fully clear school parking lots in preparation for normal school operations on Tuesday, February 24. These lots must be cleared to ensure safe access for buses, faculty, staff, students, and families.
After 5:00 PM, any vehicles remaining in public school parking lots will be towed. We will have no alternative. Our responsibility is to ensure that schools can safely and efficiently open tomorrow.
We appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
