USC Parents To Be Briefed On New Anonymous Tip Line

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA - The Upper St. Clair School District will host two parent information sessions regarding the Safe2Say Something statewide anonymous reporting system that launched this week. The programs will occur Feb. 5 and Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Boyce Middle School theater.

The Safe2 Say program, which debuted this week, allows students, teachers, parents and others to provide information through a 24-hour tip line, online or through a phone app. The tips are reviewed by crisis center workers who then can contact school administrators or law enforcement depending on the potential threat.

The program is being operated by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office in conjunction with Sandy Hook Promise, a national violence prevention organization.

In addition to participating in the new tip line program, the district has developed a Safety & Security webpage. Instruction on how to report a concern – is easily accessible from the top navigation bar of the district’s website.

The site offers resources for families on a range of safety and wellness topics including media and technology, bullying prevention, suicide and crisis prevention and more.
