Welcome back to school, Surprise!

For today’s Mayor’s Minute, I’m joined by Surprise Police Chief Evan Beecher to talk about how we can all help keep students safe this school year.

Please slow down in school zones, stay alert at crosswalks and bike lanes, put your phone away while driving, and always stop for school buses when their stop signs are extended.

Together, we can help every student get to school safely and start the year strong.
