Safety and Transportation
Keeping our students safe at school and on their way home.
Safety and Security protects students, employees, grounds, and property. Professional safety and security specialists provide 24-hour emergency communications, security patrols, response to calls for service, school inspections, and monitoring of the Security and Fire Alarm System (SAFAS) for all FCPS facilities. They also handle crisis management and other security-related matters. They ensure that FCPS complies with federal, state, and local regulations regarding fire prevention, environmental health, safe routes to school, and traffic safety, too.
Transportation Services manages the safe and efficient transportation of more than 110,000 students to and from school and school activities each day. Bus service is provided by a team of administrative specialists, supervisors, drivers, and attendants on routes designed to provide safe and efficient transportation.
