Whereas: Safe Routes to Schools' will assist in forming a community-wide Task Force which will include parents, neighborhood members, law enforcement, and participation from staff from the school and town which will identify and evaluate safer routes to schools for our children and present this to City staff; and

Whereas: Safe Routes to Schools will be providing in-class safety education in each qualifying school, and
