The Jackson Parish School District will be taking part in the Crimestoppers Safe Schools Louisiana program. The announcement was made in the statement shown below that was posted on the JPSD facebook page on Monday, December 4th. 

JPSD Statement

Due to the requirements of Louisiana Senate Bill #207, Act #334, in the next two weeks, your student in grades 6-12 will be presented with information on how they can help make their school and community safer by reporting dangerous or concerning behaviors. 

The Crimestoppers Safe Schools Louisiana anonymous reporting solution will be presented to our students, and they will be able to download the mobile app, once it is released for Louisiana, if they have a mobile device. There will also be a 30 second spot regarding this app on the district and school social media pages.

Students can use the Safe Schools Louisiana App to report bullying, suicide concerns, depression, sexting, stealing, threats, cutting, abuse, dating and domestic violence, fights, drugs, alcohol, weapons or other types of dangerous situations that threaten their safety or the safety of others for the purpose of prevention and interventions. 

Safe Schools Louisiana will help keep our students and our schools safer by:
Creating a positive school culture or climate
Giving students a voice to share concerns
Gathering information to then proactively address concerns
Preventing tragedies from the personal level to the community level
Building trust within our school community

Please encourage your student to use this life saving technology to better our schools and community. You may also visit the Safe Schools Louisiana website to learn more about this program at www.safeschoolsla.com
