See Something, Say Something IEMA Reminds Parents, Students, Schools about the Availability of Safe2Help Illinois 24/7 program encourages students to confidentially share school safety concerns. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency, and local emergency managers throughout the state, are reminding students, parents and community members about a new program and free resources available to help improve school safety in Illinois. Safe2Help Illinois is a free information sharing platform that is available 24/7. In the absence of a trusted adult, students can use a free app, text/phone, or the website (Safe2HelpIL.com) to share school safety issues in a confidential environment. Information obtained by Safe2Help Illinois will remain confidential to ensure student privacy and to protect the integrity of the program. This program is not intended to suspend, expel or punish students; rather, the goal is to encourage students to “Seek Help Before Harm.” Safe2Help Illinois is a free, voluntary program offered to public and private schools grades K-12.
The Illinois report card is released each year to show how the district and schools are performing on a wide range of educational goals. The report card has two main components: the At-a-Glance report card that provides important information about each school or district in a one-page, printable format; and the Online Report Card that delivers in-depth information with explanations of each indicator online.
