In an effort to maintain a safe learning environment, Calloway County Schools are implementing "Safety Tipline Online Prevention" or STOP! Tipline. The online reporting/prevention tool is provided free to the district by the Kentucky Center for School Safety.

If students, parents or community members know of an unsafe situation in school, they can pass on the information to school personnel by using this anonymous online format.

"Our hope is that, students who may be reluctant to make a face-to-face report of bullying or some other safety issue may be encouraged to share this information when offered an 'online' option", says Calloway County superintendent Steve Hoskins. "By giving students a way to report concerns anonymously using their tablets, computers or smart phones, we can improve communications and then take the necessary steps to address any problems before they escalate."

Click on the STOP Tipline logo on the Calloway County Schools District homepage http://calloway.kyschools.us/  or any Calloway School homepage. Students or any community members can report bullying, cyber-bullying, violence, risky behavior or other safety concerns to school personnel by using an online form which does not require identification of the person making the report. Tips can be left or students may choose to have someone contact them.

More information can be found about the tip line at www.kycss.org/stop/about.php.
