Dear Members of the MPSD Community,
The School Committee and I would like to remind students, staff, parents and the community to please be respectful of the Handicapped Accessible Parking Spaces in each of our school parking lots. These spaces are available for people who are in legitimate need of the space. Unfortunately, there have been a number of times when vehicles without appropriate disabled parking placards have parked in these spaces.
At times it may seem trivial and inconsequential to pull into a handicapped accessible parking space to “quickly” drop off a student, pick up a student or just run into the building for a “second”. Before using these spots illegally; however, we ask you to “stop and think” for just a moment about your actions and to respectfully only use a handicap parking spot for its intended use by law.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for respecting this longstanding law.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey W. Granatino, Superintendent of Schools
Marshfield School Committee
