Gov. Mike Braun said students, staff and families will be able to “anonymously report bullying, threats, violence or concerns about someone who may be struggling.”
INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Braun announced Friday that his administration is investing $1 million in a statewide, anonymous 24/7 school safety tip line.
According to a news release from the governor’s office, the anonymous tip line will be available specifically for students K-12. The tip line will be monitored all day, every day for free.
In a video posted to the governor’s YouTube page, he said students, staff and families will be able to “anonymously report bullying, threats, violence or concerns about someone who may be struggling.”
The Indiana Office of School Safety will be offering “outreach and education sessions” about the tip line to schools, according to the news release.
Enrollment in the tip line is optional. School corporations that are interested will work with the Central Indiana Educational Service Center to enroll.
“This historic investment into school safety helps schools identify concerns earlier, connect students with support and respond before a situation becomes a tragedy,” Braun said in a statement. “Through my administration’s Office of School Safety, we are committed to ensuring every student in Indiana has a safe place to learn, and every parent has confidence that concerns about their child’s safety will be heard and acted upon.”
“To Indiana’s students, your voice matters,” Braun added. “If you’re worried about yourself or someone else, speak up. One report, one conversation or one request for help can make a difference.”
This tip line is scheduled to be available for schools starting in January 2027.
