• Schuette, Calley, Etue and Flanagan Announce Proposed OK-2-SAY Student Safety Hotline May 21, 2013
LANSING - Attorney General Bill Schuette, Lt. Governor Brian Calley, Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, Director of the Michigan State Police, and Mike Flanagan, State Superintendent, today announced the proposed creation of OK-2-SAY, a hotline and educational student safety initiative scheduled to be rolled out in Michigan schools for the upcoming 2013-2014 academic year. OK-2-SAY is a student safety program that will stop violence and tragedy before it happens by facilitating and encouraging confidential tip-sharing among students, parents, school personnel and law enforcement officials, uncovering harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt our schools.
According to the U.S. Secret Service, for 81% of violent incidents in U.S. schools, someone other than the attacker had knowledge of the attacker's plan but failed to report it. OK-2-SAY will discourage the persistent culture of silence among students who fear reporting threatening behavior is intrusive, will lead to retaliation or result in stigmatization for the tipster.
