Safety and Security
Safety and Security, in partnership with our students, employees and community, strives to provide a safe and orderly environment for learning.
The safety and security of our students and staff is among CMSD’s highest priorities. We work closely with the Cleveland Division of Police and other local authorities to implement safety procedures and improve mutual aid.
In addition to collaborating with other agencies, we:
- seek to staff every building with at least one security guard and a metal detector.
- employs mobile deputies, sworn police officers who patrol the District, respond to emergencies and supplement building security staff. CMSD is the only school district in Ohio that employs sworn police officers.
- has or is upgrading surveillance cameras and public-address systems.
- has connected CMSD surveillance cameras with the City of Cleveland’s camera system to expand coverage.
- provides Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy certification as an incentive in recruiting security guards.
- supplies photo IDs to students. The IDs double as Cleveland Public Library cards and permit parents who download the Edulog Parent Portal app to monitor their children’s travel on yellow buses.
