§ 49301 School Safety Patrol Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •School safety patrols are made up of students from the school.
  • •A school staff member is in charge of the patrol, but they don’t have to be at every spot where the patrol is working.
  • •The patrol helps keep kids safe, like when crossing streets near the school.

Example

A group of 5th graders wear bright vests and help younger kids cross the street safely after school.

These 5th graders are part of the school safety patrol. A teacher is in charge of them, but the teacher doesn’t have to stand at every crosswalk—just make sure the kids know what to do.
