🚨 Attention drivers: The speed limit in school zones is 15 MPH. This school year, the District is deploying 216 crossing guards to keep our students safe on their way to school.
When you are in a school zone, take extra care, slow down, and listen to crossing guards.

On March 16, 2021, 8 people, 6 of which Asian, lost their lives in a senseless and craven act of violence. Join @dcmoapia and @dcmowpi as we create space to heal and have a dialogue on the District's investments in AAPI women and girls' safety.
