School & Student Safety
Bulloch County Schools strives to create and maintain safe schools and offices for students, faculty, staff, and visitors, and we invest resources to continuously improve safety equipment.
Parental support and community involvement are vital to help the district maintain safe, orderly schools. The district regularly works in partnership with the Bulloch County Emergency Management Agency and all of our law enforcement agencies within the county, state and nation to develop and implement school and district safety plans. Each of our schools is required by the state to have a safety plan that is regularly reviewed and updated.

A Parent's Role in an Emergency
See or hear something? Say something to a trusted adult!
- If you see something, say something to a trusted adult, not social media.
- Contact law enforcement or the school district using any of the available tip hotlines listed below.
Social media is not a trusted source
- Social media is not the appropriate source to report your safety concerns. Instead, immediately report crime tips or suspicious activity to law enforcement, a school administrator, or a trusted adult.
- Sharing and reposting alleged information or screenshots of school threats made on social media leads to undue fear and anxiety and disrupts instruction in our schools. It can also lead to future false-reports.
