The Mars Area School District is working with other groups to maximize safety after a student was struck by a vehicle attempting to cross Route 228 last week.
At their Tuesday night meeting, board members heard from Superintendent Dr. Mark about a meeting that took place Tuesday that included district administrators along with representatives of Adams Township, PennDOT, Sheetz, and GetGo.
Development and road work is expected to continue in the area of the Mars schools for the next two or three years so the groups are attempting to coordinate efforts to arrive at practical solutions.
The 13-year-old girl who was struck remains hospitalized while classmates and staff members have been working to assist the girl’s family during this difficult time.
