School Safety Trends: 2023 Spring Term

About the Report

Increased violence in the classroom. A national teacher shortage. Feeling unsafe while learning. Staff, student, or admin—those in education face major challenges.

In this report, CENTEGIX offers its latest, comprehensive analysis of school safety incidents and staff survey feedback gathered from our CrisisAlert™ usage data for the 2023 spring term. Inside, you’ll learn about:

• The rate of safety incidents has continued to increase
• Nearly half of all safety incidents on a school campus occur outside the classroom; precise location is a critical feature in any emergency response system.
• Teachers and staff continue to prefer the badge to call for help over traditional options like wall-mounted panic buttons or mobile phones because it’s fast, discreet, and easy to use.

We also look to seasoned educational leaders to extract insights into the current challenges in education, emergency response and safety planning, and choosing safety solutions for their districts, including a deep examination of how they measure their return on investment.

Lastly, we explore the state of Alyssa’s Law across the U.S. and how the CrisisAlert solution meets—and surpasses—those requirements.
