The SpeakUp for Safety tipline is monitored by safety professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long. Non-life-threatening tips will be quickly routed to designated school or District staff members, and in severe situations, District-appointed contacts will be immediately notified to take action. In the most urgent cases in which a student is in immediate danger and representatives are unable to notify a District-appointed contact, law enforcement will be contacted to intervene.

CNUSD SpeakUp for Safety tipline can be called or texted at 951-589-0600 or emailed to mailto:speakup@students.cnusd.k12.ca.us
