| FIRE LANE
Please be aware that a majority of the curbs in the back of the building (North) have been painted red. That means those curbs are considered a fire lane and you can NOT park there. Law enforcement may ticket and or tow your vehicle.
Keep this in mind when you are deciding where to park, especially since spring sports have started.
A short walk is better than the price of a ticket or tow bill.
| |
|
Parking Permits, Do I Need One???BMHS requires a parking permit for all staff and student drivers that will be parking in the school parking lots. We want to ensure we know who is using the school parking lot during school hours and that they are safe to do so.
- Parking Permits are FREE, yet towing is not.
- THREE violations may result in being towed.
- Example: parking in a non-parking space without a parking permit equals two violations.
- How do I avoid getting towed:
- You MUST have a Parking Permit if you are parking in the school parking lot. If you need one see Ms. Liz in the front office.
- You must park IN a parking spot; you CANNOT make up your own.
- You must have an active Handicap Placard to park in a Handicap parking space, otherwise you may receive a ticket from the School Resource Officer (SRO).
- You are not a visitor, so you CANNOT park in one of those spaces.
- You must have insurance and a driver’s license (both get uploaded when you apply for a parking permit). Driving with just a permit could result in a ticket from the SRO.
- Speeding and doing donuts in the parking lot is a school violation and could also result in a ticket by law enforcement.
