Do you know an employee who goes Above the Line?

District launches ‘SpeakUp for Safety’ tipline The SpeakUp for Safety anonymous tipline will replace the district website’s “Report Bully” button that houses a form used solely to file bullying complaints. In addition to accepting bullying reports, the new, more robust system also allows users to report threats of violence, peers in crisis and other safety concerns.

The program, created by Gaggle, a safety technology company, includes 24/7 monitoring services. Tips are quickly routed to designated school or district staff members. The tipline is open 24/7. When you share a tip, please include the school’s name and as much information as possible. Together, we can help keep our schools safe. Thank you!

Nominate them as an Above the Line employee of the month.

Winners are selected monthly and surprised at their campus or office.

INTERCOM

CCISD’s Standard Response Protocol terms Evacuation: Requires all staff and students to leave the building. Evacuation can be highly effective if it can be completed before the arrival of the hazard; can involve fires, bomb threats and gas leaks.

Hold: Requires students to remain in their current room or area and is the protocol used when hallways need to be kept clear of occupants.

Lockdown: All exterior doors and classroom doors are locked and students and staff remain in their classrooms; can involve bomb threats, severe weather conditions, terrorist threats, death and/or suicide at school and civil disruption.

Shelter-in-Place: Students and staff remain the building, windows and doors are sealed and all ventilation systems are shut off. Limited movement is allowed. Shelter-in-place is most effective during emergencies involving hazardous materials, which produce toxic vapors outside of the facility. Taking shelter inside a sealed building is highly effective in keeping students and staff safe.

Secure: Bring everyone indoors, keep perimeter doors locked, increase situational awareness, continue normal school business, take attendance.
