MCLEANSBORO — With safety in mind, the McLeansboro Police Department and East Side Elementary School are asking you to drop off your child during the morning time at the rear of the school. This is for all parents or guardians who are dropping their child off. Parents/Guardians who are wishing to walk their child into the school may park in front of the school headed eastbound.

According to a post on the McLeansboro Police Department’s Facebook page, this decision was made after much discussion in regards to addressing the safety of children and other traffic sharing the school zone during the busy morning rush hour.

Police and school officials thank you for your cooperation.

You can see a diagram showing the drop off routes with this story on our website’s news page and on our social media pages.
