The BVA Tip Line is a new way for Students and Community Members to communicate with BVASD Administration regarding BVASD Safety. This tool allows confidential reporting to a School Administrator any concerns you may have for school safety, the safety of others, or express a concern about a student and their well-being.
The Belle Vernon Area School District's Tip Line reporting system is intended to facilitate the reporting of sensitive information to law enforcement including information regarding student safety. This information may be shared with school officials such as principals, school counselors, and other administrative personnel.
THIS IS NOT an Emergency Hotline!
