On July 31, 2019, Commissioner's Memo 20-006 was shared with Arkansas School Districts/Charter Schools to inform school personnel that the Rave Panic Button was funded for the 2019-2020 school year. Rave has added “Eyewitness,” an anonymous tip-line for reporting anti-bullying and school threats. The “Eyewitness” tip-line is in alignment with the Arkansas School Safety Commission's recommendation of implementing strategies to promote an anonymous reporting of suspicious activity/behavior and threats.
To help school officials better understand the reporting tip-line and determine how to implement “Eyewitness” in a school, a training will be held at the Northcentral Education Service Cooperative, located at 99 Haley Street, Melbourne, AR on November 14, at 10:00 a.m.
