Stay Safe! Speak Up!

Students (and their parents) can easily report tips on bullying, harassment, drugs, weapons, thoughts of suicide, or any other concern which may jeopardize the safety of students, employees, or school property.  You should Speak Up! and promptly report the issue.

Every report received about GOVS is immediately logged into our system and our administration is notified so we can investigate and take appropriate action.  Don't forget that tips can be submitted anonymously.

We will make every effort to handle and respond to every charge and complaint filed by students, parents, and employees in a fair, thorough, and just manner.

Use any of the following options to report an issue:

1. Phone.  Call 1-866-547-8362 and either talk with a live attendant or leave a message.  When talking with the live attendant, you have the option of being forwarded to one of the following national hotlines:
   • 911 - Urgent Response
   • National AIDS Hotline - AIDS/HIV
   • National Runaway Switchboard - Homeless or Runaway
   • NINELINE Hotline - Relationship issues involving peer/parent; alcohol/drug abuse
   • RAINN Hotline - Sexual assault; domestic violence; physical abuse
   • Suicide Crisis Center Hotline - Suicide Prevention
