"traditional students" can purchase "breakfast" or, "lunc to take home" for their "at-hom days".

They can sign-up to do so.

"full-virtual students" need to contact "the kitchen manager" at their school.

They will arrange "a time for pick-up".

"the cost" is what they normally pay..

Including "free" and "reduced-price meals".

"the district" is also encouraging "all families" to consider taking children to school "by car" or, "walking" "school leaders say"..

This will ease stress on the transportation system..

And better encourage distancing on busses.

"everyone" should be on the look-out "for school busses" as they start traveling again.

"extra "patrols" will be monitoring for people disobeying "stop arms" and "distracted driving".

"law enforcement" have other eyes as well.

/////////// cameras are recording the cars and license plates and all that so violators will be ticketed, even at a later date sometimes.

/////// drivers in any direction "are required to stop" for busses with activated lights.

That's unless there's "a median" or, "barrier" dividing the directions
