CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District will host a series of Operation Child Protect events for kindergarten through second grade students at 10 Cleveland elementary schools.

The educational program will provide parents and guardians with information as well as a Child Identification kit for free.

The kit will include a Child ID Card, which contains a color photo along with fingerprints, and a DNA sample. Officials said a Child ID Kit allows essential information to be disseminated within minutes of a child’s disappearance, increasing the probability of a child's safe return.

The events will begin May 19 and run through May 23.

Ten billboards, which were donated by Clear Channel, have been placed throughout the City of Cleveland within one mile of each school participating in the event.

The billboards contain the Operation Child Protect logo and Web site.

Here are the schools participating in the event for the remainder of this week:
