Student safety

Reporting Child Abuse, Abandonment, or Neglect

TAG Academy is committed to the safety and well-being of every student. This page is a public summary and does not replace current law, staff training, or the school’s complete internal procedures.

Report concerns directly

Florida law requires a person who knows or reasonably suspects child abuse, abandonment, or neglect to report it to the Florida Abuse Hotline. Internal notification to school leadership does not replace an individual reporting obligation.

Florida DCF reporting instructions

Immediate danger

If a child is in immediate danger, call 911 first and then contact the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-962-2873.

School escalation and cooperation

Staff should also promptly notify designated TAG Academy leadership in accordance with school policy and fully cooperate with authorized investigations. School escalation is additional to—not a substitute for—required external reporting.
