Operation Safe Schools
South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka announced Wednesday that 2023 Operation Safe School will kick off starting Thursday, August 31st. As students head back to the private and public schools, police will enhance their presence around all schools and school zones. "This year's effort is focused on the two Rs - Raising Awareness and Reducing Speeds", said Hayducka. "We have a daytime population of nearly 100,000 people and we want our community members to be aware of shifting traffic and pedestrian patterns with the schools coming back into session", Chief Hayducka added.
Lieutenant Tara Jairdullo, who heads up the school safety bureau, said, "We know a new school year brings excitement and anxiety for many. We will have an officer at every school to help students and parents, as well as raise awareness for reduced speeds around the schools. Our goal is to create the safest possible back to school."
Two private schools have already started back and activity at the high school has picked up as fall sports are in progress. All students will return to school on Thursday, September 7th. The peak time we will see impact in traffic and pedestrians will be at the start and end of the school days. There will be nearly 8,000 students entering schools between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. The dismissals at the schools are between 2:20 p.m. to 3:35 p.m. It typically takes a few days for people to adjust to buses and parents dropping off students. Drivers should allow for added time in the first few days of the school year.
Let's make it a great school year by raising awareness and reducing speed.
