Knox County Schools promotes TexaTIP anonymous reporting on student Chromebooks
Summary
Chief Grenillo and district leaders described TexaTIP as an anonymous reporting platform installed on student Chromebooks and accessible via app stores and the district website to let students, families and community members report safety concerns.
Chief Grenillo urged students, staff and the community to use TexaTIP, the district's anonymous reporting tool, which he said is installed on every student's Chromebook and available through app stores and the district website. He described the system as a first line for community and student concerns to be assessed in real time.
"That's completely anonymous reporting, system that's available to students, staff, family, and even folks in the neighborhood," Chief Grenillo said, adding that the district prefers to vet tips to determine whether additional resources are needed or whether the report can be closed. Officials said TexaTIP allows the safety office to triage threats or concerns and respond quickly.
District officials encouraged families to remind children that if they see something that 'does not feel right' they should report it through the tool so staff and allied agencies can investigate.
