Dallas committed to providing school crossing guards

The City Council was briefed on January 3 on the status of Dallas County Schools’ (DCS) school crossing guard program. City staff will present a plan to Council to implement a school crossing guard program in the City of Dallas. Below is fact sheet that explains the current program of school crossing guards with DCS.

The City of Dallas, mandated by state law, is committed to providing school crossing guards for schools located in the City limits. In 2012, the City entered several contracts with Dallas County Schools (DCS), for DCS to provide the school crossing guards and operate the stop arm cameras, prior to the dissolution of DCS after the November 2017 election.
