Rhoades parking reward spots

By Meridith McManis

 

This school year Luke Rhoades, the high school dean of students, has put together the idea for rewarding students with three parking spaces.

Rhoades decided to start this because he heard other schools using a similar reward system.

“There is no cost for rewarding the student’s with the parking spaces out front,” Rhoades stated.

 The students that get rewarded are eligible to park in the spaces for one week. Rhoades draws the names randomly, and three students get chosen.

Rhoades stated, “Students don’t like where the spaces are located at, and they are not using them as much.”

Rhoades has decided that the idea is going to continue over the next couple years. He also has said that he’s going to try to revamp the idea, and also to move the spots to where the students will use them more. The students must be in eleven to twelve grades to be eligible for the parking spaces.
