What is SafeSchools?

With several courses that address Environmental, Behavioral, Health, School Safety, Human Resources, and Transportation issues, SafeSchools delivers all of the essential training you need for each employee in your district.

Brief History

Co-Founders.  
Brian Taylor and Greg Estep co-founded Scenario Learning in late 2001 with the idea of creating Web-based safety and compliance resources to meet the unique needs of academic institutions.   Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company began operations in 2002 and has quickly grown to serve customers in 47 states as well as internationally.

Focus.  
The premise for Scenario Learning’s products is simple.   Safety and compliance resources for general industry or manufacturing fail to meet the unique needs of academic institutions.   With that simple idea, Scenario Learning built SafeSchools.com, which was initially comprised of a half-dozen online training courses.   These online courses were coupled with a state-of-the-art Compliance Management System to deploy the courses through the Internet and track all the training for compliance purposes.

Content Expertise.  
From the beginning, each SafeSchools course was authored by a recognized, national expert to ensure that the content met the specialized needs of school and academic administrators.   In particular, Brian leveraged his expertise as a publisher with Thomson Learning to procure the very best authors across the United States to create training content specifically for the SafeSchools system.    Today, there are nearly two dozen nationally-prominent authors as part of the SafeSchools team – helping to ensure that participating districts, schools, and colleges all enjoy the most dependable content in the most critical area – safety.

Flexibility and Scalability.  
SafeSchools revolutionary Compliance Management System (CMS) is unlike any other.    The system has an array of features that are uniquely suited to simplifying safety and compliance tasks for school and college administrators.   This includes seamlessly integrating online and offline learning.   Leveraging Greg Estep’s background as an architect of Internet-based systems, the CMS enables the busy safety administrator to have all relevant compliance data at their fingertips and to analyze the data for process improvement.

Expanding and Growing.   
SafeSchools courses now exceed 60 with a couple dozen more to be announced—school-specific, of course, and with nationally-renowned authorship.   We’re also increasingly publishing state-specific courses in many areas.   The summer of 2007 marks a major new release of SafeSchools CMS 2.0 – a quantum leap forward that gives SafeSchools administrators more tools and more analytics to manage safety and compliance across their campuses.    SchoolMSDS.com continues to be an outstanding resource for MSDS administration and compliance. The SafeSchools LifeLine anonymous tip line continues to grow as well.
