CROSSING GUARD LOCATIONS TO CHANGE FOR NEW SCHOOL YEAR

Pursuant to a decision by Volusia County’s school crossing evaluation committee, several changes in the assignment of crossing guards serving local elementary schools will take place when the new school year begins on Monday, Aug. 16. Necessitated by budget reductions, the changes will result in guards no longer being posted at seven crossings. The locations were selected by the school crossing guard committee that evaluates crossing locations to determine the areas of greatest need and usage.

The locations that will no longer have a posted crossing guard are as follows:

Blue Lake Elementary School, DeLand
● Wisconsin Avenue/Blue Lake Avenue

Freedom Elementary School, DeLand
● Orange Camp Road/Blue Lake Avenue

Friendship Elementary School, Deltona
● Hope Avenue/Kimberly Drive
