out that the crossing guards are funded by the city not the school district. Mr.

potential partner for the recognition program. Sergeant Stenson oversees the crossing
guards for just the city. The committee would like to focus on only the City of Oshkosh

agreed to research the idea further and report back at a different meeting.
