Friendswood ISD has embarked on an innovative security project with FiveStones Safety that equips its campuses with the award-winning CENTEGIX CrisisAlert solution to increase safety and security district-wide.
"This is the next step in Friendswood ISD's efforts to create the safest learning environments possible for students and staff," FISD Superintendent Thad Roher said. "We believe that a first-class education begins with teachers and students who have peace of mind in the classroom."
CENTEGIX CrisisAlert allows teachers and staff to call for help with a simple click of a button on a wearable badge. CrisisAlert is unique for its ability to deliver precise alert location, immediate audio and visual incident notifications (including lighted strobes, screen messages, and intercom integration), and full campus coverage. In the event of a school lock-down/lock-out emergency, the solution connects communications to local law enforcement and provides first responders with precise location information enabling them to respond faster in any situation.
J.T. Patton, Executive Director of Safety and Operations, said, "This safety project will not only make our schools safer but will also drive collaboration and response across the District and local law enforcement agencies. It is truly an end-to-end solution that we are thrilled to implement."
