Supervisors have returned to four school crossings in Strathbogie Shire, funded by the state government.
The Shepparton News reported this week that the four crossings in Euroa, Avenel and Nagambie are on government management roads, while a remaining crossing at Nagambie Primary School, which is on a council managed road, remains unfunded.
Strathbogie Shire exited the program earlier this year on principle over the shifting of costs to ratepayers for providing a government service.
Some school principals are reported to have stepped in to man the crossings when the council stepped away.
Strathbogie Mayor Laura Binks has previously called on the government to rethink its position on funding the school crossing at Nagambie Primary School, and expressed concern that the funding commitment for the other four crossings is not ongoing.
