PEABODY — The city’s School Safety Task Force was presented with an award at the State House Monday morning for its advocacy and education around getting children to school safely.
The task force received this year’s Community Collaboration Award from Safe Routes to School, a state-wide initiative through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation that runs safety programs for K-12 students who walk, bike or roll to school, and the drivers around them.
