It is a privilege to be the Director of Safety, Security and Transportation in the Quincy Public Schools. The outstanding Security staff, administration and secretarial staff are diligent in providing a culture of safety, security and quality service to all the students and families of Quincy. The Security Department does not meet with success in isolation. School administrators, teachers, and clerical staff play a vital role in upholding the culture of Safety and Security. Additionally, the Quincy Police Department staff including the Chief of Police, Paul Keenan, and our School Resource officers, Lisa Devine and Steve Burgio, along with our DARE officers, John Grazioso and Don Sautter are always assisting the staff and students of the school system. We are grateful for our Security Round Table team members. We continue to depend on them to provide an invaluable service to our students, staff and administrators of the Quincy Public Schools. As our Quincy Public Schools Mission States: “In order to accomplish our mission, staff, parents, and students must work in a collaboration of effort and trust with open communication.” It is with that collaboration, communication, and trust that we will work towards success and Safety for all in 2011-2012 Sincerely, Michael T. Draicchio

Roles and Responsibilities of the Safety & Security Team
We are very proud of the professionalism of our administrative and security staff, as well as our
security and safety team members.
Director:
The Director supervises the Administrative Assistant, office secretary and security staffs
at both high schools by creating and maintaining a positive, civil atmosphere and a
safety-conscious culture in the security department. The Quincy Public Schools Safety
and Security Department’s role is to ensure a safe, secure and friendly educational
environment for all students, faculty, and staff of the Quincy Public Schools. We
provide a highly visible, professional, competent, and courteous service; distribute
information and assistance to the school community by sustaining the integrity of
Quincy Public Schools Mission, rules and regulations through necessary and appropriate
enforcement actions.
The Director is the Chairperson of the Safety and Security Team. The team uses
available school community resources. We are continually alert for updated information
regarding laws and regulations. This allows our security department to establish and
maintain communication and coordination with local, state, and federal agencies with
respect to safety & security planning and response.
In order to accomplish the above, each month our Safety and Security Round Table team
meets to discuss issues that may impact our students and staff. Related professional
development is also conducted each month.
The following agencies will attend our monthly meetings during the 2011/2012 school
year: Quincy Public Schools Administrators, Principals, Assistant Principals, Deans,
Attendance Officers and Security Staff; Quincy Police School Resource Officers;
Juvenile Detectives; Community Police Officers; Quincy Fire Department; Norfolk
County District Attorney’s Office, Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, the Transit Police;

and the Department of Youth Services.

The Director of Safety and Security will publish, Safety First, a Quincy Public Schools
newsletter that will be issued three times this year. The newsletter will highlight topics
such as the Safety and Security Round Table team meetings, promote professional
development opportunities for staff, and offer insight from our School Resource
Officers.
The safety and security of our students and staff continue to be a top priority for our
schools. Emergency Procedures are posted in each classroom and office areas of our
schools. Our emergency procedure drills are as follows: Lockdowns, Evacuations, and
Reverse Evacuations which are conducted twice a year at all schools.
Accompanied by the Principal of each building, physical security checklists are reviewed
by the Director of Safety & Security bi-monthly. The checklist consists of the following
items: interior and exterior doors and windows, exterior lighting, video cameras,
monitors and recording devices, graffiti, school zone traffic assessments, school alarms,
fire alarms, cell phones, and any and all other security related information.
During the 2010-2011 school year, the Quincy Public Schools security staff participated
in professional development regarding the following topics: CPR, First Aid, Anti-
Bullying Laws, and incident report filing. During the 2011-2012 school year, we will
continue to provide quality professional development for our security staff.
The Director also oversees how the Transportation/Safety and Security
Departments collaborate on a daily basis:
The following are examples of how both departments work together:
o Student Bus Conduct Issues, Bus Vandalism, Bus Accidents
o Traffic Issues (related to bus pick up and drop off locations.)
o Student Issues/Parent Issues
o Work daily with the Quincy Police School Resource Officers, Community Police,
and the Traffic Division including the QPD Traffic Supervisors on issues that may
arise during the course of a transportation driver’s route.
