Anonymous Reporting

rsvp3The Mt. Olive Board of Education has partnered with the Morris County Sheriff’s Office on an anonymous tip application program called "RSVP-3 Morris County, NJ" to enable students, parents and community members to report potential acts of violence.

RSVP-3 Morris can be downloaded in either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. The app allows the reporter to report a potential act of violence anonymously.  Said report will be received immediately by local law enforcement and forwarded on to designated school personnel if the act concerns a student or school.

In concert with this program, Mt. Olive Township School District staff members have been trained in Behavioral Threat Assessment Management, which is a method of assessing potential threats developed by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service. The goal in utilizing this program is to prevent any potential violent or criminal act.

Please note that RSVP-3 is to be used for reporting school related information only. For issues outside of school, please contact MOPD at (973) 691-0850 or visit police headquarters at 204 Flanders-Drakestown Road, Budd Lake, NJ 07828. 

 

Bus Safety Pilot Program

At the Mount Olive Township School District, the safety of our students is a top priority. Our Bus Safety Pilot Program is designed to ensure that all students arrive to and from school safely and to promote community awareness about the importance of school bus safety laws in New Jersey.

Under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 39:4-128.1), it is mandatory for drivers to stop when a school bus is picking up or dropping off students, regardless of the direction from which they are approaching. This law was established to protect our students as they enter and exit the bus, and it is crucial for the entire community to understand and respect these regulations. Violating this law not only puts children at risk but can also result in significant penalties for drivers.

As part of our commitment to student safety and community awareness, the Mount Olive School District has implemented a safety video training program specifically for individuals who have received citations for failing to stop for school buses. Through this training, violators are provided with essential information on:

  • The risks and consequences of ignoring bus stop signals
  • The role they play in protecting children’s lives
  • Key aspects of safe driving behavior around school buses

The goal of this program is to educate violators about the critical importance of New Jersey’s bus safety law and to help prevent future infractions. We believe that increasing awareness and knowledge within the community is vital for creating a safer environment for all students. By prioritizing bus safety education, Mount Olive Township School District seeks to protect its students and reinforce the responsibility we all share in keeping our children safe on the way to and from school.
