Between the lines
With a wave of a hand and a knowing smile, 55 city employees help with one of the most treasured gifts in Overland Park.
LaVon Klover has been working as a crossing guard for six years, helping elementary students arrive safely at school.
"This is a great job. It works with my own kids' school schedule," she said.
Overland Park is recruiting guards for the next school year.
Most crossing guards work an hour a day, 30 minutes each in the morning and afternoon. The pay rate is $11 per crossing slot, or $22 per day.
Where else can you earn in excess of $100 per week, smiling and waving at kids and parents and ensuring the safety of tomorrow's leaders?
For more information, call Sue Wildgen, manager of police personnel, at 913/327-6903.
