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.

Not yet, and certainly not like we saw when the vaccines first became available, but some people are finding the surge in cases a good reason to finally get a shot in the arm.
Jeremy Brown of Fort Myers said his experience fighting the virus finally convinced him it was time. Hesitancy and misinformation kept him from getting the vaccine before.
“I would say definitely just being a little ignorant and kind of following the trends, just the whole COVID hoax, kind of, and it wasn’t until I actually tested positive for COVID and missed out on a lot of business to where I decided COVID is real,” he said.
