Classroom Student Safety

A teacher of special education and life skills notices one of her students acting out of the norm during class. She needs to summon help before the situation escalates and affects other students.  The student needs to be removed into a one-on-one environment where he/she can be brought back into focus so the safety of the other students and teachers can be assured. The teacher cannot leave the classroom unattended.  The school district needs to solve this challenge for its 200 special education teachers.

Solving this challenge will benefit the school in the following ways:

• Rapid response to a escalating situation helps preserve the education environment and make it conducive to learning
• Enhanced teacher and student safety with rapid emergency warning
• Improved student retention will lead to increased graduation rates and stabilized individualize student funding from the state.
