LAFAYETTE CROSSING GUARD ASHLEY DIAS DIES DOING HIS JOB

On Wednesday afternoon 45 year old Ashley Dias died when he put himself between a child and an SUV in front of Stanley Middle School. While parents were heartened to see many police officers and even school administrators present in the crosswalks around Stanley Middle School on Thursday, they questioned where they were before that and pointed out gaping holes on intersections surrounding the middle school. Parents and students say they are desperate not to let Dias's life end in vain and are calling on the city and the school district for change.
