The council just confirmed they will keep our crossing patrols in place. Watching my own kids walk to school safely tomorrow feels like a massive weight has been lifted. We still need to watch the budget reports closely to ensure this funding remains protected for the long term.

Watching the total climb toward five hundred signatures gives me hope that our children will not be left to face these dangerous roads alone. Please send this link to a neighbor or friend so we can hit that mark before our meeting with the council.

Watching the counter climb towards one hundred signatures gives me hope that our children will not be left to face these dangerous roads alone. Please send this link to your neighbors right now so we can hit that milestone before the council meeting begins.

Absolute madness. Traffic is getting worse by the day and they want to remove the only people helping the kids cross safely.

So they spend money on new offices but cut the crossing guards. Priorities are totally wrong here.

My kids walk to school every single day. This is absolutely ridiculous. Do they want an accident to happen before they listen??

I trust our crossing guard way more than the local drivers who speed past the school gates. Dangerous idea.
