Crossing Guards Receive Training

To make sure thousands of students get to school safely, hundreds of crossing guards took part in regional training workshops. They learned essential crossing guard procedures, traffic laws regarding crosswalks, proper equipment, and how to ensure their own health and safety while keeping others safe. The Regional School Crossing Guard Training workshops are sponsored by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and its member agencies.

The 2019 workshops mark the 13th year MAG has provided the regional training.
