Senate Bill 2050, passed during the 87th legislative session, requires school districts to collect information annually through student surveys on bullying/cyberbullying and use the survey results to develop action plans to address student concerns.
All Katy ISD students in 4th-12th grade are invited to participate in an online survey administered by K12 Insight. K12 Insight manages online surveys for school districts nationwide, safeguarding the confidentiality of participants’ responses. Students will be prompted to enter their student ID numbers solely to verify student participation by campus and grade level in an effort to maintain data integrity. K12 Insight will not provide Katy ISD or any outside party with data that connects a participant to his or her survey responses.
Students will complete the survey during the school day with a grade-level teacher.

Speak Up
Speak Up App for the Safety and Well-Being of Your Child
When students are victimized or have knowledge of safety issues, fear or confusion may discourage them from telling school personnel or a police officer. The Katy Independent School District is encouraging students, parents and community members to anonymously report tips or information about potential safety threats through the District's new SpeakUP reporting mobile application. This new app is one of many ways the District is fostering engagement and developing customized resources that adapt to the needs of a growing school district with changing demographics.
SpeakUP is an anonymous reporting system that enables Katy ISD students, parents, and community members to anonymously submit safety and well-being tips to help prevent school related incidents that could cause harm to others.
Tips may include bullying, weapons, suicide or self-harm, illicit drug use, inappropriate relationships, violence, and other concerns for safety and well-being. In addition to submitting anonymous and secure tips, users can upload video and photo evidence. All tips are thoroughly investigated by campus personnel, police and/or a crisis management team.
What users can do with this app:
Anonymously submit a tip to Katy ISD police, Counseling Services, and campus/district administration concerning school, district or student safety
Attach video or photo evidence that supports your tip
Select from over 40 different tip categories
Review updates on the tip that you submitted
How do I submit a tip?
Download the SpeakUP app on your mobile or other smart device. Download through Google Play Store or iTunes App Store to install the app.
