The School District of Philadelphia Office of School Safety launched operation of the District's Safe Path program at the start of the 2022-23 school year. Currently, the program is active in supporting the schools and surrounding communities of six schools. Through this action item, the Office of School Safety seeks to amend its existing contract with the Institute for the Development of African American Youth, Inc. (IDAAY) to authorize additional spending so that the program can expand to serve eight additional schools during the remainder of the 2022-23 school year.
The Office of School Safety has developed a model using multiple data points to guide the expansion of the Safe Path program, including student perceptions of safety from the District-wide survey, serious incidents reported in the areas outside of school, and arrest data from the areas outside of school.
The Safe Path program directly supports Guardrail 1: Welcoming and Supportive Schools, supporting school and community safety and emphasizing positive student and community engagement.
