Safer Ohio School Tip Line

Safer Ohio School Tip Line LogoThe Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts tips via call, text, webform, and mobile app 24 hours-a-day. Anyone can download the Safer Ohio School Tip Line app or use the webform.

This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety — whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.

Things to report to the tip line include (but are not limited to):

  • Bullying incidents;
  • Withdrawn student behaviors;
  • Verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty or schools;
  • Hazing;
  • Weapon/suspicious devices on or near school grounds;
  • Gang-related activities;
  • Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff;
  • Self-harm or suicidal sentiments; and
  • Any other school safety-related concerns.



MESSAGE TO PARENTS ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY

School districts throughout Lucas County have been asked to comply with requests made by the Northwest Ohio Regional Terrorism Task Force, the local agency charged with maintaining the safety and security of citizens in our area. The RTTF has asked schools to close in the event a Threat Level Red is declared by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Should a Threat Level Red Be Announced:

  • Before school hours: Schools will be CLOSED.
    All activities and events scheduled for any district facility will be cancelled until further notice. Normal school operations will remain closed until advised to re-open by the Regional Terrorism Task Force.
  • During School Hours
    School buildings will be secured and remain open until regular dismissal time unless otherwise directed by the Regional Terrorism Task Force. All after-school activities and events will be cancelled.

How can you help?

Advise your child’s school if there are any recent changes to your child’s emergency medical information. Also, in order to keep phone lines open for possible communications from Regional Terrorism Task Force personnel, districts are asking for your cooperation in not calling the schools.
