Built to the standards your district is held to
Student privacy, data security, threat assessment, and reporting obligations — Relay12 handles compliance automatically, so it never becomes administrative burden.
FERPA Compliant
Relay12 is fully FERPA-compliant. Access to reports is role-based and governed by the same legal framework that already applies to school-staff and SRO relationships. The platform supports your existing legal structure — it doesn't create new privacy challenges.
Data Security
State-of-the-art encryption protects all data. Our employees can't access your report data — all information access is heavily locked down and logged. Every access event becomes part of the auditable record.
Behavioral Threat Assessment
Relay12's threat assessment infrastructure is built to the standards law enforcement and school safety teams are held to — including state BTAM mandates. Every report is categorized by risk level, documented with intervention history, and tracked through resolution.
State & Federal Reporting
School safety incidents must be documented, reported, and tracked — from state school safety requirements to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Relay12 creates that documentation automatically, from the first student report through every response action, giving districts and their law enforcement partners an audit-ready record.
Role-Based Access
Designated contacts — counselors, administrators, and law enforcement — are given access only to the report categories relevant to their role. Access is controlled, documented, and reviewable at any time.
Data Sovereignty
Your district's data never leaves your district's control. You decide who sees it, how it's used, and when it's retained or purged — with no outside agency in the path between a student's report and your response.
Common questions
How does law enforcement access the system?
Relay12 uses role-based access — designated law enforcement contacts can be given access to specific report categories relevant to public safety. SROs can be integrated into the alert workflow for high-risk or threat-related reports. Access is controlled, documented, and FERPA-compliant.
What about privacy and student records?
Relay12 is fully FERPA-compliant. Access is governed by the same legal framework that already applies to school-staff relationships. The platform supports the existing legal structure — it doesn't create new privacy challenges.
How is Relay12 different from a state tip line?
State tip lines route reports through an outside agency before they reach the school. Relay12 routes them directly to your school — instantly — and adds counselor workflow tools, case management, and behavioral threat documentation. A tip line takes tips. Relay12 is a complete safety and wellness platform.
Who can see a student's report inside Relay12?
Only the school officials your district designates for each report category. Relay12 employees cannot access report data, and every access event is logged as part of the audit trail.
