Forsyth County School Safety Petition

It is the job of the Forsyth BOE and Superintendent to ensure each school administration is accountable and accurately documenting school CRIMES in statistical form and communciate stats to parents and the State DOE. We NEED AN ANONYMOUS TIP LINE NUMBER In all schools. The Forsyth County School system is responsible for our children and has been under-reporting school crimes (assaults, weapons, thefts, sexual assault) for too long. Accurate reporting is required by the NCLB act of 2001. All school crimes must be reported to police/state DOE as required by the NCLB act of 2001. We advocate for all schools to promote the anonymous tip line. Consider joining this advocacy group to prevent school violence: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/forsythcountyconcernedparents/.

To:  parents/teachers

This petition is for Paula Gault, Superintendent of Schools and the Forsyth County Board of Education. We are petitioning the need for additional safety measures in the Forsyth County School System. We would like the 1-800-SAY-STOP anonymous tip line readily visible in key locations around campuses and buses. This tip line gives the power to the student or teacher who wants to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. Reprisals are a reality in today's world. We would like students and teachers to have the power to avert or prevent a possible school tragedy. We would like the school system to develop policies in dealing with bullying, harrassment, dangerous pranks and criminal behavior with giving clear cut consequences and/or removal of privileges. We want the Forsyth County School system to install cameras on buses to quickly identify bullies and harrassers. WE would like you to better coordinate with law enforcement in any criminal behavior, hazings, and dangerous pranks. We also would like you to develop clear policies in dealing with any school administrator that bullies and harrasses students or parents and report them to the Georgia Professional Standards and Ethics Board.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
