Speak Up

 

The Blaine County School District and Gaggle have partnered to keep students and schools safe by providing a simple way to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis, and other  imminent threats via the SpeakUp for Safety tip line. 

Trained Gaggle safety representatives evaluate

SpeakUp for Safety tips   24/7/365. They send an email regarding non-life threatening issues to designated school or district staff members. In more serious situations, district-appointed contacts are notified immediately.

In the most imminent cases, Gaggle will contact law enforcement to intervene if unable to notify a district-appointed contact.

 

The Gaggle SpeakUp for Safety tip line integrates directly with G Suite for Education from Google, to which students already have access on a daily basis. There’s no need for students to download a mobile app or remember a phone number—SpeakUp for Safety instant replies include a phone number students can use for

 text messages or phone calls.
