The successful Safe Passage program has led to a 20 percent decline in criminal incidents around Safe Passage schools, a 27 percent drop in incidents among students, and a 7 percent increase in attendance over the past two years in high schools that currently have the Safe Passage program. Expanding the Safe Passage program to include next year’s welcoming schools is one of several steps CPS is taking to create safe environments in and around our schools.
