Teachers and parents have one thing in common: they care about students’ safety. Greenwood Community School Corporation has developed a spot on the GWS website just for the safety of their students. 

The Anonymous Tip Line allows students to anonymously share information about potential danger to themselves or others. To submit an anonymous tip, students go to the school corporation website and click on the anonymous tip line link.

The anonymous tips are sent to the principal and the central office.

“Every tip is approached as accurate. Tips could be from anyone. We enter every situation taking it seriously,” Mr. Craig Bruns, assistant principal, said. “It could be ones we leverage out to our partnerships outside of school, such as the police and fire department.”

 Principal Michael Gasaway shared his hopes for the tip line.

“I hope that people, if they don’t feel comfortable, reach out and say something,” he said. “I hope that it is used to stop something going on. I would love for it to be proactive rather than reactive.”

Anonymous tips come in an average of one a month.

“If I average it out over the course of the year, maybe one a month,” Mr. Gasaway said. “I have not received any this year, but there are anonymous tips for investigating and making us aware of the situation.”
