Safe and Sound – Systematic Communication Strategies for Ensuring School Safety
Moderated by Kevin Hogan, eSchool News, Editor-at-Large
When every second counts, there is no higher priority for school district leaders than to create secure and informed campus environments. Having a campus-wide communication ecosystem is imperative. Being able to initiate a controlled emergency notification protocol to Alert, Notify and Monitor directly from a mobile device, classroom audio system, or Interactive Flat Panel is essential.
