West Perry School District

- We encourage and teach our students to call 911 for emergencies and report safety concerns to a trusted adult (at home or school). However, there may be situations where a student does not feel comfortable talking to an adult.
- In 2018, the General Assembly passed Act 44 mandating the establishment and use of the "Safe2Say Something" (S2SS) anonymous reporting system by every Pennsylvania school entity.
- S2SS is a life-saving and changing school safety program that teaches students, educators, and administrators how: (1) to recognize the signs and signals of individuals who may be at risk of hurting themselves or others and (2) to report this information by calling 911 in an emergency, telling a trusted adult, or anonymously through the S2SS app, website, or 24/7 Crisis Center Hotline.
1. A tip is submitted via mobile app, Click Here Website or by calling the PA based 24/7 Crisis Center at 1-844-SAF2SAY (1-844-723-2729)
2. The tip is then triaged by the Crisis Center to gather enough information to act on it
3. The tip is delivered to the impacted school and, as needed, local law enforcement via 911 County Dispatch
4. The school and, as needed, local law enforcement assess and intervene with the at-risk individual
5. The school then closes out the tip and reports actions taken as a record for their school
