Cleveland ISD Streamlines Safety Training and Anonymous Reporting with PublicSchoolWorks

Outdated and Inefficient Processes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.

The Need to Improve Staff Training and Student Support

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.

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.

How Raptor Helped

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.
