Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
AFTER THE STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, BEAVERCREEK CITY SCHOOLS HELD A SAFETY MEETING IN APRIL 2018 TO INFORM PARENTS OF SECURITY MEASURES AND SAFETY GUIDELINES ALREADY IN PLACE IN THE SCHOOL. A SMALL GROUP OF PARENTS ASKED WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE? AND WITH THAT AN IDEA WAS BORN. CREEK SAFE IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO INCREASING SAFETY MEASURES IN OUR SCHOOLS. OF COURSE, THERE IS A COST TO PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SECURITY. WITH OUR ORGANIZATION RAISING MONEY FOR THIS CAUSE, BEAVERCREEK CITY SCHOOLS CAN FOCUS FUNDING ON OTHER AREAS.
