Speak Up For Safety

Greenwood School District 50 recently announced a partnership with school safety company Gaggle to launch a new SpeakUp for Safety tip line that will allow students to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis, and other imminent concerns that affect students’ well-being and security.

The SpeakUp for Safety tip line will be continually monitored by Gaggle safety professionals, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Non-life-threatening tips will be quickly routed to designated school or district staff members, and in difficult situations, district-appointed contacts will be immediately notified to take action. In the most urgent cases, when a student is in immediate danger and Gaggle is unable to notify a district-appointed contact, Gaggle will alert law enforcement to intervene.

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