On the 11th, Mayor Lee met with 50 parent representatives from 23 high schools in the district at the Media Center in Dongbaek-dong, Giheung-gu, to listen to current educational issues and requests from each school and to discuss possible support measures.

With this meeting, Mayor Lee concluded his schedule of school meetings for the year, having held a total of 13 sessions at various schools. Over the course of six meetings this year, he met with principals from 189 elementary, middle, and high schools, and also held six separate meetings with parent representatives. In addition, Mayor Lee met with principals and parent representatives from two special schools.

During the meeting, Mayor Lee presented the progress and future plans for 24 of the 43 requests that had been submitted in advance and were related to city matters.

Mayor Lee explained the status of major requests from parents, including the installation of speed bumps and security CCTVs at Yongin High School, and the removal of outdated sunshades and bicycle racks at Taeseong High School.

In particular, Mayor Lee proposed expanding the installation of 'yellow crosswalks'-currently limited to children's protection zones-to areas in front of middle schools, high schools, and universities.

He stated, "Since students also commute to middle schools, high schools, and universities, I believe it is necessary to paint the crosswalks yellow in these areas for their safety," adding, "If there are no legal issues, we will move forward with painting crosswalks yellow in these locations as well."
