Special notes on Module 6
Base your responses on only one school district. If more than one school district is of interest, consider completing Module 6 separately for each district.
Keep in mind that school district boundaries may be different than municipal boundaries.
Module 6 covers plans, policies, environments, and resources specifically related to school siting and connecting schools with other places.
This module does not address physical activity, physical education policies, or the quality of programming within schools. While these are important factors to consider, they are beyond the scope of this tool.
For engineering-related plans, policies, and resources to improve the built environment around the school and promote walking and bicycling, consult Module 2: Infrastructure to Accommodate Pedestrians and Bicyclists.
