Fairfax County May Restore High School Crossing Guards After Funding Cut Proposal

The proposal, which will be considered by the county board, would allocate funds to bring back crossing guards at high schools. The guards were removed from the budget earlier this year as part of cost-saving measures. If approved, the guards would return to their posts at the start of the next school year, ensuring safer crossings for students. County officials said the decision reflects community feedback and a commitment to student safety.
