Crossing Guard Contracts Extended

Oak Park will bring in the manpower and  will supply the money as part of an extension of a one-year agreement for school crossing guards.

At Monday's Oak Park Village Board meeting, officials said the village will continue to get the guards through Andy Frain Services and provide management and oversight.

District 97 will reimburse the village $189,600 - that's $47,400 quarterly – for the services for the 180-day 2011-2012 school year.

The village and the district elected to extend the agreement to a second year as it continues to assess how best to provide crossing guards before and after school at 23 intersections through the village.
