More than 60 school crossing patrols could be axed or not replaced under proposals by Derbyshire County Council.
Thirty six sites, which have have either zebra or light-controlled crossings, would have their patrols cut.
Seven schools which currently have lunchtime crossing patrols would have their services axed.
And 19 sites where school crossing patrols staff have left will not be replaced.
However under the plans, which will be discussed at a cabinet meeting at County Hall in Matlock next Tuesday, 153 crossing patrols would be saved.
The money to fund the patrols would come from the public health budget.
Councillor Dean Collins, Derbyshire County Council's cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure, said: "In July 2014 the council faced the prospect of losing all the school crossing patrol service unless alternative funding could be found.
"So I am delighted that we have managed to find the funding, by using public health money, to propose keeping most of the service.
"We'll be asking Cabinet for the go ahead to consult on these proposals, and should they agree we'll consult with families, school children, schools and the public later in the year before any decisions are made."
The meeting will also be asked to approve the timetable for consultation on the plans which would run as follows:
• From January 2015 – 12 week consultation
• Spring/early Summer 2015 – evaluation of consultation responses
• Early/late Summer 2015 – report back to Cabinet and staff consultation
• Autumn 2015 – plans implemented
