Cleveland ISD Streamlines Safety Training and Anonymous Reporting with PublicSchoolWorks

Cleveland ISD case study
“SmartPass has been one of the most impactful investments we’ve made in the last five years here at Berlin High School. The biggest difference for us is that we see fewer students where they shouldn’t be and more students where they should be—which is in the classroom during class time.”

Bryant Bednarek, Principal at Berlin High School

Challenge

Outdated and Inefficient Processes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.

How Raptor Helped

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.

Results

By incorporating EmployeeSafe and Stay Safe. Speak Up!, Cleveland ISD experienced tangible improvements in safety and efficiency.

  • Anonymous online reporting now facilitates accelerated response times to incidents. Real-time dashboards now show logs, patterns, and spikes across all schools, triggering timely conversations and interventions.
  • Improved staff compliance with safety training, bolstered by automated tracking and reminders, has improved staff’s incidence response.
  • Centralized reporting has significantly reduced the risk of lost or incomplete incident documentation when compared to the previous paper system.

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.

Cleveland Independent School District serves over 3,800 students across six campuses in Cleveland, TX.
