The Tamaqua Area School District’s community training session on the Safe2Say program, scheduled for this evening, has been postponed due to the weather. The training will be rescheduled for a later date.

The district will hold a community training session on Pennsylvania’s new Safe2Say app. Pennsylvania is the first state in the nation to implement the hotline program, which was devised by Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit formed following the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The goal was to search for ways to prevent such violence.

The program includes a mobile app, website and hotline which can be used to make anonymous reports of students and others showing signs they have the potential to carry out school violence.
