Could Panic Buttons Save Lives?

AEA Purchasing partner, Centegix, was part of a story published earlier this month by EdWeek - "Could Panic Buttons Save Lives in a School Shooting?".

The story includes quotes from Brent Cobb, Will Fullerton, and Centegix customer Ron Self, Security Director from Little Rock, who said, "Implementing the new alert system has made students, teachers, and families feel safer in the classroom," he said. "Human resources staff in the district even tout the system to prospective hires," Self said. “It makes them feel less like they’re out there on their own,” Self said. “Teacher morale goes up because they feel like you’re doing what needs to be done to protect them.”

If an alert system is something your school is considering, start your conversation with Centegix. Using the AEA Purchasing/AEPA contract, Iowa schools can save up to 14% on products and solutions. Reach out to:
