REPORT SAFETY CONCERNS

Through the district's notification system, The Education Connection (TEC), anyone can access a Safety Tip Line...when you witness verbal, written, physical, or social media safety concerns, PLEASE SPEAK UP! 

You can report anonymously any safety issue by calling TEC at 
(937) 643-4444
choosing Option 7 and selecting the respective school.

You can also do the same by going online to kettering.tipline.info.  The prompts will ask for the date, time, location, and names of those involved. The information will be forwarded to the proper authority.  All reports can be made anonymously and are taken seriously and will be investigated thoroughly by school administration and the Kettering Police Department, if warranted.

Please take a moment now to write down, file, or store the Tip Line Contact Information so that it is handy when a safety concern arises.

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework that helps educators provide academic and behavioral strategies for students with various needs. MTSS grew out of the integration of two other intervention-based frameworks: Response to Intervention (RtI) and PBIS.

School Resource Officers

The Kettering City Schools work in partnership with the Kettering Police Department to ensure our schools remain safe places for our staff members to work and students to learn and grow.

One of the most important aspects of this strong partnership is the placement of highly trained police officers in our schools. These School Resource Officers, or SROs, play a multifaceted role in ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of students, staff, and the entire Kettering school community.

SROs provide a safety and security presence in our buildings. Just as importantly, they foster positive relationships between law enforcement and our youth, families and staff, thereby playing an integral role in fostering a positive school culture and climate.
