Taylorville School District Announces New Student Safety Hotline

The Taylorville School District has introduced a new safety tipline to help students who may be dealing with bullying, planned fights, students in crisis, threats of violence, weapons in school, or other urgent situations as they present themselves. The phone number that you can call or text for the SpeakUp Safety Tipline is 217-707-6650.  You can also email for quick help to speakup@tcusd3.org.  

 

Taylorville will be working with Gaggle in partnership to keep students and schools safe. Trained members who work for Gaggle are working 24/7/365 to handle any non-life-threatening items to school or staff members. In severe situations, district contacts are notified immediately and law enforcement will be contacted if nobody can be reached.

 

There is no need for students to download a mobile app or remember a phone number, the SpeakUp for Safety instant replies include a phone number that students can use through the G Suite for Education from Google. 

 

To find out more about Gaggle, contact your School principal.
