 The Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. Calls or texts to 844-SaferOH (844-723-3764). The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts both calls and texts 24 hours-a-day. 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(but are not limited to): self-harm or suicidal sentiments, unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff, bullying, withdrawn student behaviors, verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty, or schools, hazing, weapon/suspicious devices on or near school ground, or any other school safety-related concerns.
