Our objective is to work with schools to implement a system to improve communication. Founded in May of 1999, the mission of Report-it is to supply a tool that students can use without fear of reprisal when they believe their safety or the safety of others is at risk. Students can report threats of violence, bullying or other concerns, and connect to drug, alcohol and abuse resources, both locally and nationally. When a report is received, the school chosen Designated Recipients, such as a principal, counselor or safety resource officer, are notified. The school administrator or designee will review the report and determine the appropriate action.
Schools conduct their own investigation on the report.
As in any complaint, they try to find out who is involved, how serious it is, if there were any witnesses, etc. Information reported through this system is held in the highest regard of security , integrity and confidentiality . Students are more aware of the activities of their peers, as evidenced by the testimony of students in past school tragedies. They need to be able to freely communicate information to parents, teachers or principals when they feel their safety or the safety of their classmates is threatened, without fear of personal repercussions. Reporting potential crimes or threats will help to prevent tragedies from occurring and can ultimately save lives.
