How are reported concerns handled or processed?

• Reports received by STOPit are quickly screened and then communicated verbatim back to a pre-designated district administrator, who reviews the report and follows the district's procedures for handling the concern.  STOPit is a reporting tool and does not provide counseling services or other guidance.  As a reporting tool, STOPit gathers information from reports to facilitate follow-up decisions by the appropriate party.  All reports to STOPit are handled in a confidential manner.
