Middle and Elementary School Principals:
Our office has received several inquiries regarding the process and timeline for schools to begin working on their Safe Routes Utah plan (formerly SNAP) as a result of the boundary changes.
We recognize that while some of our elementary schools were not affected by MOAB, many of our schools were. In consulting with Info Systems and the Department of Transportation, those schools that were not affected by MOAB may begin working with their School Community Councils to approve the 2019-20 Safe Routes Utah plan (we’ve actually had a few schools already submit their plans).
Schools that were affected by MOAB can expect to have revised attendance boundaries ready by January 7, 2019. Revisions to your school’s walk boundary will come from the Department of Transportation and should be ready by mid-January. Due to the time required to complete this process, we will extend the deadline for submitting Safe Routes Utah plans to Friday, February 8, 2019.
Once you receive the revised attendance and safe walking boundaries for your school, we would encourage you to begin meeting with your SCC to develop your school’s 2019-20 Safe Routes Utah plan as soon as possible.
Thanks for your cooperation.
