It’s about time to return to school in Junction City.

August 17 is, for example, the first day of classes for students in Geary USD 475.

Junction City Police Captain Chuck Leithoff said next week police will activate flashing lights in the school speed zones that have them available.  They’ll be run during school zone times, “to start making drivers aware that school is coming up.”

The school speed zones will become effective, Monday August 17.
