Mission
The Department of School Safety will effectively utilize all available resources to establish a safe, secure, and orderly teaching, learning, and working environment to promote personal well-being for the total school community and maximize student achievement.
Blueprint 2.0 Goals
- To improve achievement of all students.
- To maintain a safe and orderly learning environment.
- To use resources effectively and efficiently.
Support Model
Each zone has been assigned a school safety manager and a back-up manager. These managers assist and provide support to schools for all school safety related concerns. Responsibilities of the managers include consulting with schools and police regarding emergency response, assisting schools in the development and completion of emergency plans, monitoring fire and scenario-based drill completion, monitoring bullying, harassment or intimidation data, coordinating meetings between administrators and school resource officer program personnel, and addressing concerns related to the visitor identification system and student/staff identification system. In addition, each manager is responsible for addressing specific central office or systemwide programs and initiatives.
