California Abuse Reporting

Together, we are responsible for maintaining a welcoming, caring, and, most importantly, safe environment for all students and families in our CYT Santa Cruz community. All current staff members at CYT Santa Cruz are mandated reporters, required by law to report any suspicion of abuse to a child protective agency. We also encourage you to report any concerns that you may have regarding the safety or well-being of students, staff, or families to a CYT Santa Cruz staff member or directly to the appropriate agency in the resources below.
