New technology inside Lee County’s public schools this year will help keep your kids safe with the push of a button.
The District has installed panic alarms in all schools. The purpose? Faster response times in the case of an emergency.
Each teacher and staff member will wear a badge, and when they click it, it automatically triggers an alarm, which sets off a series of announcements and computer screen messages that let staff know the exact location of the emergency. A teacher will even have the ability to send an alert directly to law enforcement.
