Chicago Public Schools (CPS) announced the addition of two new Safe Passage routes to continue the District’s efforts to ensure that students travel safely to and from school. The additional routes at Dyett School of the Arts and Al Raby High School will increase the participating Safe Passage schools from 140 to 142, deploying more than 1,300 Safe Passage personnel, from 22 community-based organizations, to support more than 75,000 students on a daily basis this school year. With the reopening of the new Dyett School of the Arts, the District will relaunch the program to ensure a successful reopening for students traveling from new communities to the school this year. Al Raby was identified as candidate for the Safe Program based on feedback from the school community. Both Dyett and Al Raby have been added to the program through increased efficiencies identified through improvements and changes in need across the existing school routes. CPS’ Office of Safety and Security works with the school community to incorporate feedback on an ongoing basis to ensure that routes are the most effective for students. Additional information on the Safe Passage program, including route maps for all 142 schools, is available at www.cps.edu/safepassage.
