Michigan’s OK-2-Say program, which allows high school students to submit confidential tips as a way to report safety threats before a tragedy occurs, is a success so far.
That’s according to Katharyn Barron of the Michigan Attorney General’s office. She calls OK-2-Say the crown jewel in Michigan’s school safety program.
She says it already has saved lives and is making Michigan schools safer.
Barron tells the Michigan State Board of Education that in the first year of the program they’ve received 1,400 tips.
In comparison, the Colorado version received about 100 tips in the first year.
And Michigan’s program is modeled on the Colorado version.
Barron appeared before the board of education in Lansing Tuesday.
