School officials in Jacksonville, Florida, are pushing for urgent safety upgrades following a surge in pedestrian accidents involving students.

The Be Safe, Be Seen campaign and potential uniform changes are among the measures being considered. However, some board members advocate for broader policy changes, including more crossing guards and updated school zone policies.
