Bastrop ISD Tip Line
See something, say something! It takes all of us to keep our community safe. The Bastrop ISD Tip Line allows students, staff, and community members to report concerns about abuse, bullying, drugs, suicide, threats, weapons, and more.
There are three ways to submit a tip. Fill out the form online at www.bisdtx.org/tipline, text your tip to 512-412-3373, or call 512-412-3373 to leave a voicemail of your tip.
Your report will go to school officials, and you can even submit your tip or concern anonymously if you choose. When creating a report, please provide as much information as possible. You may also report your concerns directly to a school administrator, via email or phone call.
The tip line is not monitored 24/7, in the event of an emergency, you should always call 911.
