What Is the CCSD SAFE List?

The CCSD SAFE List is the official approved list of organizations authorized to provide programs, services, curriculum, and educational resources to schools within the Clark County School District.

CCSD uses the SAFE List to ensure that schools work only with partners that meet strict district expectations related to:

Student safety
Program quality
Educational value
Compliance and accountability
Responsible school engagement

Schools and administrators rely on the SAFE List to identify trusted vendors and approved educational partners.

Why SAFE List Approval Matters for Schools

Choosing outside educational programs is a major decision for school leaders. Districts must ensure that any provider working with students and teachers is reliable, mission-aligned, and capable of delivering meaningful academic outcomes.

SAFE List approval matters because it helps ensure that approved organizations are:

Verified and district-approved
Safe and student-centered
Professionally accountable
Prepared to support school communities

For families, SAFE List approval provides confidence that programs offered through CCSD partners meet high standards of responsibility and care.
