CENTEGIX meets the rapid communication needs of school leaders that include responding to crisis events and the emergencies that happen in schools. Our highest priority is keeping our Eagle students and staff safe, and this is another step in protecting and fortifying our schools.

Thanks to the CrisisAlert data, we were able to identify the need and make the case to our Board to invest in areas that needed help. A year later, our CrisisAlert data demonstrated the effectiveness of the changes we made.

Safety and security is everyone’s responsibility, so if we’re going to make that everyone’s responsibility, then everyone needs to be empowered to have a voice. These are public schools and parents entrust their children to us every day.

What we do, the protocols we use, our CrisisAlert system—and all of those things combined—lend to our ability to head things off before they escalate and become situations where they’re unmanageable.

Having a plan and getting the information and practicing the plan like we do during Severe Weather Preparedness Week is ideal, so when the severe weather does strike, you know what to do and you know how to get to your safe location.

I've made many decisions over my tenure on that board, but I will put [CENTEGIX] up there in the top five. It's probably one of the most important decisions I ever had to make and I have never looked back on it. There's no price to put on safety.

We can’t always prevent workplace violence, but we can mitigate its effects, and CENTEGIX will help us do that.

What we’ve really seen is the value in medical distress situations. A teacher can stay with a student, press the badge and get help to that classroom quickly.

I love the simplicity of the CENTEGIX safety solution. I love the fact that it empowers everyone to be on duty. We have a saying on our team that we’re all on duty when it comes to safety. This actually lives that message out.

The system has a very sophisticated mapping feature that allows responders to see exactly which room or hallway the emergency is coming from and from whom. In the event of a real active shooter, we could share this information with outside police agencies who may be coming to aid us.

Here recently, we're averaging probably two students a week that are having medical issues and we've had to call ambulances in. Our staff have gotten so comfortable that they're really hitting it now…Our response time has been in the seconds, not in the minutes. And it's been fantastic for us.

When I first saw CrisisAlert, two key elements drew my attention: the wearable badge for every staff member and the visual strobes placed down hallways, in gymnasiums, cafeterias, but most importantly in EVERY classroom. [These places] can be extremely noisy at times. The visual alerts provided by the strobes throughout each campus are a critical part of alerting our students and staff during any campus-wide incident.

Our staff became very proactive with the three button-push. They felt empowered that they were trusted to push this button because they needed help.

There are a couple of key features of the CENTEGIX system that are most notable from a parental perspective. you need something that is reliable, you need something that's simplistic, and that's ultimately where the CENTEGIX system shines above its current competitors. That wearable mobile panic button that hangs around the neck—that is lightweight, but invaluable, as far as functionality is concerned—that single button that does so much to—if it was to press—save a life, is something that really you could not put a dollar amount on.

Safety is an everyday thing in our world. Everybody’s taking ownership in that building and letting us know what’s going on.

It empowers teachers to be in control of the safety of their room. They can summon a principal at the push of a button. We know where and we know who. That is a powerful technology.

We landed on CENTEGIX because the platform not only has the functionality but the reliability to fill some of our (safety) gaps. Cellular devices aren’t the most reliable. Our phone system is networked, so it depends on Wi-Fi. Not all staff members have radios. We knew we had to have a communication platform and CENTEGIX checked all the boxes.

I have been implementing technology projects for over 40 years. This is, by far, the most amazing implementation I have experienced. The attention to detail was beyond my expectations. I would put CENTEGIX in an outstanding group of companies with the likes of Disney and Apple. Outstanding service and attention to every detail. Awesome job team.
