Managing School Safety in the 21st Century

The US is home to more than 130,000 schools serving approximately 55 million K-12 students, and another 4,500-plus colleges and universities serving 21 million students. While the vast majority of campuses offer safe, secure environments, no school is immune to threats and risks. Students, parents, and communities expect their educational leaders to work with local law enforcement and public safety agencies in preparing for a wide array of man-made emergencies and hazards. To succeed, all stakeholders must work collaboratively, implementing consistent crisis management best practices and sharing critical information with each other.

Haystax Technology offers an integrated ‘ecosystem’ of cloud-based school safety software tools and mobile apps that adhere to commonly accepted security risk management standards and accommodate the unique characteristics of each campus.

• A specific use case around using the Haystax School Safety Center Incidents, Threat Streams, and Map apps to get out in front of emerging threats
• More generalized use cases involving McAllen's employment of the Assets and Assessments apps
