Smith county board of education technolgy purchase for teachers and staff - centegix crisisalert smith county board of education is proposingthe purchase and implementation ofcentegix crisisalert badges for all faculty and staff. The goal of this purchase is to significantly improve school security by reducing response time for local law enforcement when there is a safety threat on our one of our campuses. This evidence-based technology will provide an outcomeon improving the overall school environments in order to create a positive learning climate for all students by showing response times are improved. These badges are designed to meet the unique needs and challenges of each school or building, by overcoming such obstacles as bad internet receptions and rural locations. Crisis alert will provide improved response time to threats and events to local law enforcement, as they will be directly notified as soon as a badge is activated. Local law enforcement will also know the exact room/locacation which will provide accurate identification of danger and follow-up once arriving on campus. This will provide much improved communication between law enforcement and school officials with no loss of response time. This technology will only notify school officials and law enforcement when there is a threat, as to not generate additional fears or traumatize students who may already be living in an unsafe environment. This technology will be given to every faculty and staff member of our school district. IT will impact all 9 school, s the alternative school building, and the central office in carthage, tennessee which is in the 6TH congressional district of middle tennessee. We will also provide our faculty with training on crisisalert as without training, technology can prove ineffective. We believe every second counts when IT comes to protecting our students and staff and the crisisalert badge is the easiest, most effective rapid incident response that we have found.
