Three Hutchinson USD 308 schools will receive new flashing school zone signs this summer, part of a broader effort to improve student safety across the district, Mayor Stacy Goss announced via a Facebook post on Friday.

Hutchinson Middle School 7 on Avenue A, Hutchinson Middle School 8 on Adams Street, and Graber Elementary on 17th Avenue will be the first to receive the upgrades. The signs are set to be installed before students return to class in August.

The mayor also said Hutchinson High School is under consideration for a new school zone and pedestrian crosswalk on Severance Street, modeled after a similar setup near Hutchinson Community College on Plum Street.

The city plans to equip all USD 308 schools with flashing school zone signs over the next three years, installing signs at a rate of three schools per year.

“I commend our staff on their work on the subject, and I know this will make our students' travel safer,” Goss said in the post.

The improvements are part of ongoing efforts to enhance traffic safety around school campuses.
