Title 5, Article 4. Standards, Planning, and Approval of School Facilities.
Section 14030. Standards for Development of Plans for the Design and Construction of School Facilities.
The following standards for new schools are for the use of all school districts for the purposes of educational appropriateness and promotion of school safety:

2. Parent drop-off area is adjacent to school entrance and separate from bus area and parking.

The second illustration raises concerns with the parent drop-off not being located at the school entrance. The third illustration is unacceptable, with the parent and bus drop-off combined.
