Achievement Level
- The CCSD Safe Routes to School Achievement Level Program (ALP) recognizes individual school efforts to improve and promote safe walking and bicycling. The program is also a road map and an assessment tool. Schools can plot out steps to move their school forward and can annually assess what they have achieved. There are four steps in the ALP: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. With each step, there are actions required and once a step is reached, school incentives are earned. Each year, the school may earn incentives on the step level reached.
