Nowata Public Schools Partners with CENTEGIX to Enhance School Safety

Nowata, OK—June 9, 2025—Nowata Public Schools is proud to announce its partnership with CENTEGIX® to implement the CrisisAlert™ system. This collaboration further demonstrates the district’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its students, staff, and community. It reinforces the district’s dedication to creating a safe and secure environment where students can thrive.

A Comprehensive Approach to School Safety

The decision to adopt the CrisisAlert system aligns with Nowata Public Schools’ ongoing efforts to enhance safety across its campuses. With CENTEGIX’s innovative wearable technology, staff members will be able to quickly notify administrators and emergency responders in the event of any crisis, from medical emergencies to potential campus threats.

“The board of education takes the safety of our district seriously. We have improved several aspects of safety in the past couple of years, with even more to come in the coming months with our bond passage. Partnering with CENTEGIX will allow us to take those safety upgrades even further. Time is of the essence in a serious situation, and this will provide that valuable time to our great first responders and law enforcement to help keep our district as safe as possible,” says Kurt Bashford, Nowata School Board President.

A Partner in School Safety

“Time is the single most critical factor in emergency response,” said Brent Cobb, CEO of CENTEGIX. “Districts spend years preparing for and working to prevent emergencies. When an incident happens, it’s the time that it takes to respond that matters the most. With our CENTEGIX Safety Platform, we’ve taken linear phases of response and compressed them to happen all at once, so that help can arrive as quickly as possible.”
