The deployment is part of the district’s increased focus on security, which includes active shooter training for all employees and stricter safety guidelines.
The app will be installed on all district computers, but employees will have the option of putting it on their phones. The app will also alert district employees of goings-on in the neighborhood and provide maps in the case of an incident that’s near the schools.
