Bracken County Schools Announce STOP! Tipline - Report Bullying "Online"
Safety is our first priority. In an effort to use every able
resource to STOP bullying and other risky behaviors in our schools,
Bracken County proudly announces the implementation of the “Safety
Tipline Online Prevention” or STOP! Tipline. The STOP! Tipline is
designed for use as an "online" reporting/prevention tool which is
provided free by the Kentucky Center for School Safety. If students,
parents or community members know of an unsafe situation in school
(bullying, weapons, drugs or alcohol, etc.), they can anonymously pass
on that information to school personnel by using this basic email
format.
“Our hope is that, students who fear face-to-face
reporting of bullying or other safety issues may be less reluctant to
share this vital information when offered an “online” option. “says
superintendent Jeff Aulick ,“by giving students the ability to report
concerns over their tablets, computers or mobile phones, we can reach
more students and address problems before they escalate."
The
process for using the tip line involves locating the STOP Tipline logo
on the each school home page. Immediately, students or community
members can anonymously report bullying, cyber-bullying, violence, risky
behavior or other safety concerns to school personnel by using a basic
email format. Tips can be left anonymously or students may choose to
have someone contact them. More information can be found about the tip line here.
The
announcement of the STOP! Tipline comes on the heels of Kentucky Safe
School Week and it aligns with this year’s theme “Safety Teamwork
Opportunity Power!; STOP! Bullying, Violence and Risky Behavior in our Schools!
“This
tip line is just another powerful tool in our arsenal against bullying,
harassment and other unsafe behaviors in our schools. Our
Comprehensive Safe School Plan is ever evolving to keep our students and
staff safe and we are using every resource available to do so,” says
Mr. Aulick.
