Safety and Security Department

The SEL Safety and Security Department works in collaboration with law enforcement from South Euclid and Lyndhurst to ensure the safety and security of schools and school properties. The department is convicted to a high level of professionalism, visibility, communication, and cooperation.  

A security staff member is located at each of the district’s schools and works with the staff and students to create a safe, supportive school climate.   Safety Services include behavioral expectations, positive interventions/ supports, psychological /counseling services, and violence prevention programs.  

Families are encouraged to speak with their children about the importance of taking responsibility for maintaining a safe school environment by reporting potential problems to school officials and resisting peer pressure to act irresponsibly. 
To anonymously report unsafe, at-risk situations, call the district’s Safe School Helpline, at 1-800-4-1-VOICE (1-800-418-6423) ext. 359.  

Thank you for your continued partnership with the SEL Schools to provide learning spaces that are safe, secure, and promote the well-being of everyone.

Current District Safety and Security Measures


The South Euclid Lyndhurst School District has been very active in enhancing and increasing the security and safety of our students and staff. These measures include:

  • 2023-24 School Year - Hiring of Tyler Wylie as new Safety and Security Supervisor. Tyler is a military veteran, former police officer and federal agent, and holds several safety and security certifications. View Mr. Wylie's bio to learn more.
  • Summer 2023 – Through a partnership with Mayfield City Schools, members of the South Euclid, Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village Police Departments joined together for training sessions designed to familiarize each department with school buildings in each respective district. This partnership will establish mutual aid to address active threat situations and enable officers from each department to quickly arrive at and enter each building if required to do so.

  • The installation of the Raptor Visitor Management System at all school buildings to screen all visitors. This easy-to-use system scans each visitor’s driver’s license and provides a sticker badge featuring their photo. 
  • Participation of district personnel members in Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Training, which included training in the threat assessment decision-making tree, how to file threat reports and evaluate assessment scenarios, tips for conducting interviews, and knowing the proper time for advanced intervention.
  • The Office of Safety and Security has a safety plan in place, which is reviewed regularly with state and local safety officials.   
  • Monthly SEL Safety Meetings include South Euclid Lyndhurst Teachers Association (SELTA) members, Administration, Security Guards, School Resource Officers, and other stakeholders
