Stand with Providence's bus monitors.

Providence's bus monitors work hard to keep our kids safe every school day. But Mayor Elorza is considering replacing these dedicated professionals with outsourced, underpaid workers who may lack the experience, commitment, and training required to properly prioritize the lives of our students.

The average Providence bus monitor earns less than $12.50/hour, yet their work is invaluable: Their jobs were created after the tragic accidental death of a student in 1985. There had been at least one fatal student death each year from 1979 until monitors were mandated -- and since then there hasn't been a single one while a monitor was on duty.

Bus monitors are from the community and depend on this job to maintain their homes, afford health care, and send their children to school.

We need to tell Mayor Elorza that he needs to do right by working families and Providence's children -- just like he promised in his campaign.

Sign the petition telling him not to privatize Providence's bus monitors.
