Safety and Security
Safety and Security provides services that promote a safe academic
environment.
Safety and Security meets the needs of the community as it promotes
the educational development of Cleveland’s children through the
following programs:
Safe School Helpline.
This program is aimed at providing a means for students, parents and
community members to report unsafe, at-risk situations anonymously.
For additional information, call 1-800-4-1-VOICE (1-800-418-6423), ext. 359.
Mobile Patrol Units.
This is an outreach program that extends the visibility of Safety
and Security into the community. Increased visibility will reduce
incidents in and around school grounds, provide rapid response to
schools and support school officers.
Safety Tips for Walkers.
Whether children walk to school or
to the bus stop, they should know these rules to stay safe. Read
them together.
►
Leave home with just enough time to get to school. It is not safe to
arrive too early.
►
Walk in groups of two or three children if possible.
►
Be
alert. Know what is around you as you walk to school or the bus
stop.
►
Don’t stop to talk to strangers.
►
Don’t walk through or near empty lots.
►
Never go into empty or abandoned buildings. Cross the street to keep
from walking past them.
►
Never go near a car if you are asked for directions. Stand several
feet away.
►
Never get into a car with anyone unless your parent has told you to.
►

smart! Be safe!
