Like all of you, we were shocked and saddened by the tragedy in Oxford earlier this week. We wanted to post a reminder of the importance of reporting threats or concerning behavior to students, parents, and the community.
The goal of OK2SAY is to stop harmful behavior before it occurs by encouraging anyone to report threatening behavior to caring adult authorities who can help. OK2SAY encourages Michigan residents to confidentially submit tips 24/7 using the OK2SAY mobile app, online, email, texting, or by calling trained program technicians.
Ultimately, it’s about early intervention and prevention. When students make the courageous decision to break the code of silence and speak out against harmful behavior, they equip authorities with the information needed to respond to threats and avert tragedy. And that’s a good thing for Michigan schools, communities, and families.
So, let’s stand up for student safety. Remember: it’s OK2SAY.
