Granville board hires crossing guard for Rawson Ave and Quaker St.; school to reimburse $32.45 per day
Summary
Trustee Dean Hyatt moved and the board approved hiring a new crossing guard at Rawson Ave and Quaker St.; the school will reimburse the village $32.45 per day. Kathy Williams will continue at Potter Ave and Quaker; police will cover crossings when available.
The Granville Village Board voted on Aug. 5 to hire a new school crossing guard for the intersection of Rawson Avenue and Quaker Street, with the school agreeing to reimburse the village $32.45 per day.
Trustee Dean Hyatt moved to hire the crossing guard after the board returned from an executive session; Trustee Denise Davies seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. The clerk’s notes record that the school will reimburse the village $32.45 per day for the position.
Board members also specified that Kathy Williams will continue to staff the Potter Avenue and Quaker Street crossing, and that the police department will staff school crossings in the morning and afternoon when officers are available. The meeting record says if police are tied up with other police matters, coverage will shift to one of the village’s other crossing guards.
The crossing guard change followed an earlier public comment from resident Jackie Williams asking whether there were updates to the crossing guard position at the crosswalk between the high school and the elementary school on State Route 149. The board addressed crossing assignments after its executive session; no personnel names other than Kathy Williams were discussed in the open record.
Next steps: The board approved the hire and reimbursement arrangement at the meeting; implementation details and start date were not specified in the transcript.
