She attended the San Francisco School of the Arts her freshman year, and we were very <br />disapointed with not only the arts program, but the safety and security of the school, as it is an open campus. I am <br />so pleased with OCHSA in comparison--closed campus, many adults providing constant security throughout the <br />day--from the drop-off in the morning, to monitoring during lunch, and after school. <br />The block that OCHSA sits on can be a very busy area already--Main Street is of course, a main <br />thoroughfare, and Sycamore and the closed-to-traffic lOth streets are our only saviors. Sycamore provides a safe <br />drop off and pick up spot for our children. Even it is very busy when school lets out. The closure of lOth street <br />to traffic allows the children to freely cross to the lawn at Symphony Hall for lunch, and for meetings and <br />performances. If this is reopened to traffic, and the Sycamore drop-off area is eliminated, the safety of our <br />children would be extremely compromised. <br />Please take.~ moment and drive the blocks surrounding our school. Even though school is out, you can <br />picture 1200 children arriving and departing, and imaginc thc danger and confusion if the street changes are <br />approved as proposed. And remember, the high school students get out of school at 4:55 pm--just as many people <br />will be leaving work!! <br /> <br />Thank you for taking the time to review this--this great school deserves to remain a safe and secure place <br />for our 7th-12th graders. I would hate for people such as myself to pass up the opportunity for their children to <br />attend this wonderful school because of the traffic situation. <br /> <br />Most sincerely, <br /> <br />Rene Morales <br /> <br />6/21/2004 <br /> <br />75E-78 <br />
