The purpose of this reporting tool is for students, staff and community members of
West Central Area Public Schools to report situations and incidents involving, but not limited to,
the following:
- harassment
- discrimination
- bullying
- suspicious behavior
- sale or use of drugs
- weapons
- domestic violence
- concerns regarding a student or staff member
- crimes against students, staff or the school district
- any other non-academic issue that does not require immediate assistance.
This reporting tool is not monitored 24/7. For an immediate response to an emergency situation,
please call 911 or use one of the following resources:
- Crisis Response of Southeast Minnesota: 1-844-CRISIS2
- Crisis Text Line: Text ‘HOME’ to 741-741
- National Suicide Hotline: Call 1-800-273-8255
Before submitting your concern, first please consider whether your concern could be addressed
by a WCA teacher, counselor, the principal or another administrator who you trust. If so, please
contact that person directly. Tips regarding academic issues should be addressed with a teacher
or school counselor.
If you have a non-emergency concern but you do not have a trusted adult in the school district to
share the concern with and/or you would like to report something confidentially, please use this
reporting tool.
Whether your concern is regarding an incident that has already occurred or one that you believe
may take place, please submit your concern along with any details you have, so the District can
investigate.
Concerns submitted through this reporting tool will be taken seriously. Efforts will be placed on
confidentiality, and all concerns will be investigated in a timely manner. (Please note, it is a federal
crime to anonymously annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any person via the internet.)
This form is not the only way to submit a report. Reports can also be made directly to West Central
Area Public Schools staff members through less formal forms of communication, including letters,
emails, phone calls, voice mails or in-person conversations. Reports are classified as private data
and will not be disclosed as permitted by law.
