School Safety Solutions

*This post is provided by our vendor partner, Centegix.

Is your school safe and ready for every kind of emergency situation? When we think of school safety procedures, we tend to think of extreme-case scenarios. And why wouldn’t we? Our country’s witnessed countless violent acts on school grounds.

Yet, most school emergencies that happen on a daily basis include situations like: medical emergencies, playground injuries and escalating behavioral incidents with students.

With the school year at a close for the summer, now is a good time to reflect on the past year and discover

what worked well and what could use improvement for the 2022-2023 school year. School safety and security procedures are always an important consideration.

In our free e-book: “2022 School Safety Solutions: A Guide To Closing Gaps And Securing Your Campus”, you can review the pros and cons of popular safety measures like: mobile security apps, fixed, wall-mounted panic buttons and 2-way radio systems.

This guide will help you make the best and most informed decision for your district’s needs.  Even if you're happy with your current safety procedures, you can test its overall effectiveness with our five-step criteria.

Download the Guidebook

Above all else, we hope you walk away feeling confident in your choice of safety procedures.
