Safety Drills & Levy Vote in Independence | Cleveland News

Independence Local Schools just pulled off its first-ever athletics emergency safety drill — a game-changing move that brought student athletes, coaches, and real first responders together to practice life-saving responses to cardiac arrest and spinal injuries. This isn’t just a one-off; it’s the start of a year-long initiative designed to make every team, from middle school to high school, medically ready and operationally seamless in emergencies. The district is teaming up with local fire, police, and even Cleveland Clinic experts to build a culture of preparedness — because when seconds count, teamwork saves lives. Meanwhile, voters will decide this November on renewing a critical levy that funds infrastructure — not operations — to keep aging buildings, buses, and tech in top shape, as the district continues searching for long-term solutions after past building plans fell short.
