JUDICIAL DECISIONS

School crossing guards.

- Local school district may use public education funds for school crossing guards because a crossing guard program might properly be determined necessary or incidental to the support and maintenance of public schools and public education. Russell v. Fletcher, 244 Ga. 854, 262 S.E.2d 138 (1979).

County is not required by any statute of this state to provide school crossing guards. Russell v. Fletcher, 244 Ga. 854, 262 S.E.2d 138 (1979); McLaughlin v. City of Roswell, 161 Ga. App. 759, 289 S.E.2d 18 (1982).

Since a city failed to conclusively refute the plaintiffs' allegation of a nuisance, the dangerous condition created by the city's failure, following the absence of the regular school crossing guard, whom the city had provided ever since the school in question had first opened, to provide a substitute crossing guard or to inform the public of the lack of such a guard - a material issue remained and the city's motion for summary judgment should have been denied. Whiddon v. O'Neal, 171 Ga. App. 636, 320 S.E.2d 601 (1984).
