MADISON (AP) — There’s a new tip line in Wisconsin for anyone who wants to report a school safety concern.
The “Speak Up, Speak Out Resource Center” created by the Wisconsin Department of Justice is available around the clock to serve as a resource for helping to prevent school violence. Attorney General Josh Kaul said that the new tool launched as the new school year begins is a resource for parents, teachers, students and others concerned about safety.
School safety concerns can be submitted either via a website, a mobile phone application or a toll-free number. Staff are monitoring the tip line around the clock to respond to tips and contact police or school officials as necessary, the Justice Department said.
The resource center was created at the direction of an advisory committee.
The program is paid for through a $2 million federal grant.
