The Knox County Schools Text-A-Tip app lets users share important safety information about their school communities. By letting students, staff, and families anonymously report concerns about bullying, threats, self-harm, violence, and other issues, this app will support the district’s Safe Schools, Safe Students initiative and help foster a culture where students can focus on learning. KCS is working proactively to create a culture of safety within our district. This effort includes an armed officer in every school, strong collaboration with our law enforcement partners, and significant investments in physical security measures. The Text-A-Tip app is an important part of this strategy and will give our school communities a secure platform to share information that will promote a safe environment for students and staff members.
