Gaggle SpeakUp for Safety Tipline

York School District One has partnered with school safety company Gaggle to provide a new SpeakUp for Safety tipline that will allow students to easily and confidentially report threats of violence, bullying, peers in crisis, and other imminent concerns affecting students' well-being and security.

The SpeakUp for Safety tipline will be continually monitored by Gaggle safety professionals, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Non-life-threatening tips will be quickly routed to designated school or district staff members, and in severe situations, district-appointed contacts will be immediately notified to take action. Gaggle will alert law enforcement to intervene in the most urgent cases where a student is in immediate danger and Gaggle cannot notify a district-appointed contact.

The Gaggle SpeakUp for Safety tipline integrates directly with Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365, and Canvas, which students already access daily. There's no need for students to download a mobile app or remember a phone number -the SpeakUp for Safety instant replies include a phone number that students can use for text messages or phone calls.
