Not all heroes wear a cape and tights. A real hero speaks up for what's right. Be a real hero. If you see or hear something that threatens student or school safety, submit a confidential tip to OK2SAY.
Submit a Tip
Anyone can report tips confidentially on criminal activities or potential harm directed at students, school employees, or schools.

OK2SAY Statistics
An OK2SAY “tip” is information provided through communication with OK2SAY technicians.
Generally, when a tip is submitted, it may involve multiple communications between the individual and the technician in order to gather enough information to forward to the appropriate responding party. These communications are counted as a single tip.
