ANONYMOUS TIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

DPS utilizes two anonymous tip reporting systems that all schools can use by students, teachers/staff, and parents. The SAY SOMETHING and TEXT-A-TIP programs quickly notify school administrators and district staff when a tip is received. Tips can be regarding bullying, drugs/alcohol, weapons, or other concerning behaviors. All tips can be reported anonymously; please ensure to provide as much accurate information as possible when using both systems.  All information provided is confidential. Both tip systems are monitored 24/7, 365.  Please dial 911 for all emergencies!

SAY SOMETHING

In collaboration with NC DPI, DPS uses SAY SOMETHING for all district schools. You can submit tips via their website, call the hotline, or use their app. All tips go to the SAY SOMETHING Crisis Center and are forwarded to the School administration/DPS Safety and Security.
