It’s the newest school in the Coachella Valley, but some parents say that Richard Oliphant Elementary was not ready to be opened due to the lack of crosswalks, stop signs, flashing warning signs, or anything else to indicate that kids are in the area.

“There is no school speed limit here. So as of right now, people can, you know…there’s no school speed limit,” said parent Valerie Stalma.

School signs warning drivers of student crosswalks are commonplace at all Coachella Valley schools, but not at Oliphant Elementary. Parents say students should be dodging balls on the playground, not cars on the street.

“It’s confusing because it looks like a crosswalk, but there is no stop signs either way so it could get dangerous,” said parent Armando Davilla.
