Your voice
making your school
and community safer

 

STUDENTS

At some point, most students will confront dangerous or even illegal activity at school or in the community. If you do, we want you to have several avenues for speaking out. Talk to a parent, a teacher, or a school police officer about what you know, or contact Students Speaking Out anonymously.

Safety Issues

On this website, we discuss some of the challenges you might encounter at school or in the community. We strongly encourage you to talk to your family and teachers about these issues. We have links to other websites that might have helpful information. Knowledge is power.

Why Speak Out?

Students play the most important role at your school in keeping your campus safe. Even though you are young, you can really make a difference.

Bullying, substance abuse, relationship violence, and gang activity thrive in environments where bystanders tolerate activities that they know are wrong. There are real and serious consequences that can result from these activities. Speaking out can make a difference in one person's life or even your whole school.

Making a difference isn't always easy; it can be uncomfortable to speak out for what is right. That's why Students Speaking Out gives you a way to speak out anonymously and you may even receive a reward for your information

PARENTS AND EDUCATORS

Students Speaking Out was created with the goal of helping parents and educators spend more time preparing young people for leadership in the future. The program was designed to create opportunities for parents, educators, and students to have a dialogue about the choices they and their peers make. While no one wants dangerous activities or crime to be a topic in schools, unfortunately it is an issue that must be dealt with in our schools today.

Students Speaking Out is a proactive approach to creating a safer school environment. Students Speaking Out can be utilized within the curriculum to teach character development. The program promotes school spirit, pride, and a positive campus image to students.

ONE PILL CAN KILL

THE DANGERS OF FENTANYL

• The people who are dying from fentanyl are all ages, all races, and from all neighborhoods, rich and poor.

• It takes as little as two grains of salt (2mg) of fentanyl to cause an overdose and death.

• Drug dealers are increasingly advertising drugs on social media apps.

• Fentanyl is odorless, tasteless, and hard to detect if present.

• Narcan can be incredibly effective in reversing the effects of a fentanyl (any opioid) overdose.

• The Good Samaritan Law protects you from being arrested for being under the influence of drugs or in possession of drugs

if helping a friend who has overdosed.
