OUR MISSION
The Safe Path to School Task Force
This task force was formed in the wake of Emma Savoie’s untimely death.
Our mission is to bring awareness of child safety within the footprints of campus & going to and from school. We plan to make an impact on the infrastructure of school parking lots, streets, school zones, and overlapping activities/processes as children move throughout the school areas to make this world a safer place.
The initial outreach of the task force began with elementary and middle school in Slidell, LA in the Fall of 2022, and we hope it will stretch worldwide. Initiatives and safety concerns have already been brought to the forefront with pressure from this task force to make real tangible changes in the community.
The work continues, with future hope that government grants can be established with State Representatives, the Director of the Highway Safety Coalition, and the St. Tammany Regional Coordinator for the LA Safety Coalition.
All of this would not be possible without the hard work and advocacy of Dr. Andrew Pizza, SMH Medical Director.
