Outdated and Inefficient Processes
Cleveland Independent School District (ISD) faced ongoing challenges related to bullying and violence. Lack of adequate training and reporting systems that relied on handwritten forms led to delays in addressing incidents and limited the district’s ability to maintain a safe environment.
Enhanced Staff Training
The district implemented EmployeeSafe, powered by PublicSchoolWorks, to meet safety training requirements. EmployeeSafe automatically assigns staff members a curated list of online safety courses. The system automatically notifies supervisors of incomplete training courses, ensuring compliance without added administrative burden.
Better Support for Students
Stay Safe. Speak Up! provides students with both an accessible, confidential platform to report incidents to district administration and a 24-hour emergency hotline for immediate issues with bullying, depression, and other mental health or safety concerns.
By incorporating EmployeeSafe and Stay Safe. Speak Up!, Cleveland ISD experienced tangible improvements in safety and efficiency.
With this comprehensive approach to safety, Cleveland ISD has been able to minimize administrative efficiencies and foster a safer environment for all staff and students.
