Good afternoon CNUSD Staff & Families,

This past week our nation, and even our own community, was struck with news of several instances of gun violence and shooting deaths. We know these tragic events spur a series of emotions and often leave us concerned with the safety of our own loved ones.

As always, CNUSD is committed to providing a safe learning environment for our students. As we near the end of this school year, we continue to take the necessary precautions on our campuses to ensure student and staff safety.

As an additional precaution and an extension of our See Something, Hear Something, Say Something campaign, we have launched a new confidential SpeakUp for Safety tip line. The tip line will allow students to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis, and other imminent concerns that affect students’ well-being and security.

The SpeakUp for Safety tip line will be continually monitored by safety professionals, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Non-life-threatening tips will be quickly routed to designated school or district staff members, and in severe situations, district-appointed contacts will be immediately notified to take action. In the most urgent cases in which a student is in immediate danger and representatives are unable to notify a district-appointed contact, law enforcement will be contacted to intervene.

CNUSD SpeakUp for Safety tip line can be called or text at 951-589-0600 or emailed to speakup@students.cnusd.k12.ca.us. Posters will be on display around our campuses for student awareness.

Today I ask you to remind your students of the importance of speaking up should they have any safety concerns. Thank you for your support and partnership in keeping our community safe.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sam Buenrostro
