CCSD is thrilled to welcome Mr. Jorge Alicea as the new Director of Safety and Security!
Mr. Alicea brings a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to safety. He spent 23 years with the New York Police Department (NYPD), gaining extensive knowledge and honing his skills in law enforcement, crisis management, and community engagement. After his remarkable career with the NYPD, he became a School Resource Officer at Lewisville Elementary School, where he dedicated six years to ensuring the safety of students and staff.
Known for his proactive approach to security, Mr. Alicea addresses potential issues before they become major problems. We are confident he will lead CCSD’s security efforts with expertise and integrity. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to working together to create a safe learning environment for everyone.
Congratulations Mr. Jorge Alicea!
Today, we celebrate and honor freedom and resilience. Let's reflect on our history and continue striving for liberty and justice for all. Happy Juneteenth!
