School Safety is a very organized, well run unit. They have higher ranking officers that they answer to, that come to check on them or respond when they are needed. And they all work together with regular NYPD. There are also regular NYPD liasons in the precincts that respond to specific problems or complaints in the schools. But the principal is the Supreme Being in a school. Whatever the protocol or hierarchy, he/she can request just about anything and do whatever needs to be done to make it happen. IT"S THEIR SCHOOL. IT'S THEIR RESPONSILBILITY. Please don't anyone take this wrong. Mrs. Fish is a wonderful person and I am in no way knocking the job she is doing in 277, I am just stating that if she became more involved in the problems of drop off, pick up and parking, that things would change. I think all she does now is send a letter home warning parents a couple times a year and asking them not to double park. Either at her request thru NYPD/Scool Safety they would have more enforcement OR at her request up the line of - Custodian to SCA for construction of a rear driveway/parking lot/pickup dropoff area. She could also request the involvement of our esteemed local polititians to expedite the process or funding. She is the one to make this happen. Principals have the authority over everyone who works in the school, no matter who they technically work for, and getting the kids into school and out of it safely is their job.

If you have any doubt make a call about the safety officer and you'll see how fast the NYPD will investigate them and discpline them not the principal not the dept of education. If you're right that the principal can have all her staff out on the sidewalk at dismissal then they ought to be there but I'm starting to wonder if she is just another fixture that has been in place for years and not see change. Lastly fyi, if as stated the principal can control the police and have enforcement done, do you know who she is calling, the school Safety Unit and after they evaluate it, they then pass the info to the local precincts First, the school safety officer is an employee of the NYPD and is assigned for the safety of the entire school.

Its not the school buses who are the problem and I'll bet that 99.% of the car promblem is from GB residents. The topic has NOTHING to do with bussing or people from outside the area Hey Frank, what the hell does bussing have to do with the illegal parking or obstructing traffic.

That would be real safe for the kids in the park. These inconsiderate one way not my child I can do what I want people, won't park now along Ave X what makes you think they'll drive behind the school onto Ave X. Sorry but this isn't a promblem that's been around forever, parents espically mothers did not drive their kids to school when I was younger, as said before most probably 90% walked or took the bus. Time to get legal, time for the calls to start up again and some enforcement to be done, enough tickets and even towing will get the promblem corrected

All the while taking care of a baby (yes that baby never got sick from the short walk to the school.) I also used to pick up 2 other children who belonged to other people. Was it inconvenient to have to get the baby out of his car seat, open the stroller and get over to the school? Yes it was. But I could never deal with the craziness outside the school. I stayed far away. So, I was in the same boat you are. I did not double park outside the school, and I picked up my kids in weather most foul. You may not agree with me, but there is no reason to say, "your (you're) special" because you disagree. Granted, the traffic agent was completely wrong by triple parking. That just makes the matter worse. There has to be a better solution to the madness outside the school. Nope, not special … 2 kids in the school.
