From OSS: “The Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of School Safety is excited to launch Speak Up, Speak Out – a Resource Center created to provide communities with a centralized safety tool, available at no cost to schools.
“Now, Speak Up, Speak Out (SUSO) is your one-stop resource for:
- Threat assessment consultation
- Critical incident response
- General school safety guidance
“The Speak Up, Speak Out 24/7 threat reporting system will launch in fall 2020. When Wisconsin youth think there’s a threat to themselves, their classmates or their school, the threat reporting system will be a single, statewide resource to voice their concerns– with complete confidentiality – and they can trust that adults are ready to respond to the threat. No one knows more about what’s going on at school than students themselves, and they’ll be able to inform an adult online, via an app, or by calling a tipline.”
