Optania has created an online bullying reporting program that is aligned with Maine DOE’s model bullying policy and procedures. Click here to check out the demonstration.
This online program allows students, parents and others to report allegations of bullying 24/7, with the allegation report (JICK-E1) being sent to pre-determined school staff (ie. principal, assistant principal, school guidance counselor, social worker, superintendent) who will then initiate the investigation procedure using an electronic form (JICK-E2). The program also includes the remediation form (JICK-E3). In addition, using artificial intelligence, students can create their own Safety Plan in the moments after reporting an allegation of bullying so they don’t have to wait until the next school day when they can meet with a school staff member.
To learn more about Optania, attend a free, live informational webinar this week.
Sessions are 1 hour in length and will give an in-depth overview of Optania and allow time for questions and comments.
