Courage 2 Report Missouri is available for School District of Washington students and parents, along with other public and private schools in the state.
The Missouri School Violence Hotline (SVH) began in October of 2001. In 2019, through the Missouri School Safety Initiative, the reporting mechanism moved to the Missouri Information Analysis Center for 24/7 operation and was named Courage2ReportMO.
The goal is to make schools safer by helping school districts and law enforcement learn about school violence as soon as possible.
Courage2ReportMO takes confidential reports involving any public or private school in Missouri with students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Courage2Report is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides a confidential means to report school violence.
Reports can be made in different ways:
*By calling 1-866-748-7047, which is a toll-free number.

What Happens After I Make A Report?
When a report is made to the C2R, information is gathered from the reporter and entered into a centralized database. This information is then immediately disseminated to the school and law enforcement with jurisdiction.
Officials with the school and law enforcement will then determine how to appropriately handle each report.
