Barbara the crossing guard, is going to be out for quite some time
The Wellesley Police Department will cover the crossing from now until January 17th, 2020
Starting January 21st, there will be no coverage at the Oak Street crossing
Due to many crossing guard vacancies, the WPD is unavailable to cover all of them at this time
It is not yet clear when Barbara will be returning
If anyone is interested in becoming a crossing guard, please notify the police department!
