APS Announces Walk Zone

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 04:00:00 GMT

Knowing we had to make budget cuts this year, the goal at APS was to look at trying to cut in areas that do not directly impact student instruction. As the only school district in the Ottawa Area ISD without a walk zone, it made sense to look at implementing one for students living in close proximity to school buildings as a cost saving measure. When investigated, it was discovered that implementing a walk zone would save the district approximately $30,000 per year. The walk zone maps are below.
