This year the district is supporting the San Carlos Idle Free Campaign. This campaign encourages drivers to turn off their vehicle when not in motion or waiting to pick someone up. It has been found that congested cars idling create large amounts of CO2 emissions which causes difficulty breathing, aggravated asthma, decreased lung function and other cardiovascular problems. Therefore, to improve air quality around our schools please consider turning off your car if stopping for more than 10 seconds.
