COLORADO — An anonymous reporting tool in Colorado had a record-breaking number of tips last school year. The latest numbers were released Tuesday by the Colorado Attorney General's Office.

Officials say more than 28,000 reports were submitted to Safe2Tell. Last year, that number was more than 22,000.

They say the following were among the top concerns:

  • school complaints
  • suicide
  • bullying
  • drugs
  • threats

According to the office, school complaints was the most-reported category. Officials now recommend replacing the school complaint category with the following:

  • staff
  • facility
  • policy-related concerns

They say that will improve responses to student reports.
