TEA in the News: Bike Safety With California Highway Patrol
"We are grateful to the California Highway Patrol for their partnership and guidance in offering this program and helping protect our students and community."
California Highway Patrol came to TEA to teach bike safety for students riding to school.
TEA held a bicycle safety workshop in partnership with the California Highway Patrol—Truckee Area to help students better understand the dangers of bikers in the streets and to help make them safer, more alert riders. Students in both the middle and high schools attended the workshop, during which Sargeant Eric Stricker and Officer DeMarcus Lack led a discussion about critical safety skills such as proper helmet usage and understanding road signs. In addition to being an essential part of TEA’s comprehensive emotional (EQ) and adventure quotient (AQ) academic programming (IQ), participation in the program was also mandatory for any students planning to ride their bicycles to and from school as part of their daily transportation.
