The Clark County Commission voted unanimously today to expand school crossing guard coverage to include middle schools in unincorporated areas of the County in addition to elementary schools.

The County Commission approved an item to renew the County’s contract with All City Management Services through June 2025 with the inclusion of crossing guard services for middle schools. There are 23 middle schools and 100 elementary schools in unincorporated areas within the County.

“We want to make sure every child coming and going to and from school can get there safely, and the data shows that middle school students are at risk,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft.  “We hope the addition of crossing guards near middle schools will enhance the safety of students. We also hope the presence of more crossing guards will serve as a visible reminder to motorists to slow down and be extra cautious when children are present.”

All City Management Services, which operates as the Crossing Guard Company locally, is recruiting to hire middle school crossing guards for the remaining spring semester and for the school year beginning in August 2024. The company recruits for crossing guards throughout the school year due to ongoing needs throughout the community. The job pays about $16 an hour in unincorporated Clark County. While school hours vary across the valley, crossing guards work an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Successful applicants must be 18 years old, pass an agility and balance assessment, and complete fingerprinting.
