Police & Community SafetyPublic Safety

In Plain English

The city wants to make it illegal for school-age children to be in public places like parks, streets, or shopping areas during regular school hours. The law would include exceptions for emergencies, medical appointments, or when accompanied by parents. Police could stop students found in public during school time and potentially issue citations or return them to school.
