SAFE-SCHOOLS takes an over-all approach to student behavior modification that results in positive motivation, which is constantly re-enforced throughout the school day. It begins on the school bus and carries over into the classroom and back into the community. This is done through four fundamental programs:

Students as young as the third grades begin by participating in a volunteer program called the FBI. On the school bus, kids must apply and qualify for the FBI by achieving high standards of character, conduct, good grades, and behavior. They are challenged to become role models and positive influences on other students and to always do the right thing. Years of program testing and refining have proved that buses can be made safe and always under control, even in emergencies with proper driver and rider training. This is a carrot rather than a stick approach. Good behavior is rewarded and recognized and the majority of the students on a SAFE-SCHOOLS bus no longer tolerate bad behavior.

2. The (CIA) - Classroom in Action Program

In the classroom, kids who do not ride the school buses participate in a program similar to the FBI. It is called the CIA for Classroom In Action. Like the FBI program, the Classroom in Action Program takes proven and effective techniques from the FBI program and applies them in a classroom environment.
CIA training re-enforces positive behavior, recognizes academic achievement and challenges the kids to new highs of accomplishment through positive peer influences. Any child can participate and some truly remarkable results have been achieved with some previously disciplinary challenged, i.e. unreachable children.

3. The (AE) - Academic Excellence Program

The purpose of this program is to educate and engage teacher support for the CIA Program. Teachers learn how to properly direct and utilize students within the CIA Program and in the mentoring program that is a part of their overall curriculum.


4. The (NSBDC) - National School Bus Driver Certification Program

School bus drivers receive specific one-on-one training in self-discipline, proper role modeling, correct ways of handling student behavior problems, and basic first aid techniques. Our goal is to create motivated and accountable employees. Successful drivers will graduate as certified Transportation Officers.

At this stage of development, the programs conclude with middle school. However, students moving on to junior high and later into high school will have already established a positive attitude, learned self-motivation with a well-defined life-track of their own. They do better in later years because they are given a better start during those early malleable years of elementary school.

Also under development are middle school and high school components:

The Leaders in Action Program (LIA)
student leaders oversee and direct in-school applications of the SAFE-SCHOOLS core values and a mentoring program called;

The Mentors in Action Program (MIA)
where students and business leaders are brought together.

All of our programs are structured to work together so that schools will have the tools they need to create a well-rounded multi-grade SAFE-SCHOOLS Program.
