3. Neighborhood Communication

FCS will maintain open dialogue with surrounding property owners, neighborhood associations,
homeowners’ associations, and interested community members. FCS will provide a designated school
contact for neighborhood questions or concerns, receive and document reasonable comments or
complaints, and make reasonable efforts to respond in a timely manner. When appropriate, FCS may
communicate operational updates that could affect nearby properties, including special events, traffic
changes, or construction and maintenance activity.

4. Neighborhood Meetings and Outreach

When warranted by an entitlement request, site change, or operational matter with potential neighborhood
impact, FCS may participate in or host a neighborhood meeting to provide information, answer questions,
and listen to concerns. FCS may also prepare a written summary of concerns raised and identify
responsive measures in a format consistent with City of Mesa citizen participation expectations.

5. Traffic, Drop-Off, and Pick-Up Operations

FCS recognizes that traffic circulation is often the most visible neighborhood concern associated with
school operations. FCS will use reasonable efforts to manage student drop-off and pick-up in a safe and
orderly manner, including directing vehicles to remain on-site to the fullest extent practicable, using
designated internal circulation patterns, encouraging families to follow school traffic instructions and posted
signage, and monitoring stacking, queuing, and circulation conditions during peak periods.
