Threat Assessment Incident Management and Prevention Services (TIPS) System

The administration and staff of Bradley County Schools are dedicated to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all children, visitors and staff. We believe in partnering with our parents and community to combat bullying, school violence, and any behaviors disruptive to schools. Bullying at school affects and is affected by what happens after school, at home and even online. We must work together to take immediate actions and help our students, whether they are a bully, a victim of bullying or a bystander.

Bradley County Schools has implemented a web-based incident reporting tool called TIPS. TIPS is a comprehensive platform for reporting, tracking and documenting incidents and concerns. TIPS empowers students, parents, teachers and community members to be heard and to anonymously report warning signs and trouble. The goal of TIPS is prevention and to help identify red flags and warning signs before an incident occurs or escalates.

If you or your child would like to report a concern, please visit the Bradley County Schools’ website www.bradleyschools.org and click on the TIPS Incident Report button. All reports are confidential and your name will only be shared if you provide your contact information. As soon as a report is made, all of the appropriate school personnel will receive an instant notification, review the incident and take appropriate actions.

By working together, we can help prevent incidents from occurring and ensure the safety and security of our students. With TIPS students and parents can report: Bullying, Cyber bullying, Threats to Harm, Suicidal Threats, Discrimination, Harassment, Theft, Violence, Drug/Alcohol Abuse, Weapons, and much more.
