“Our nation's schools must be safe places to learn, where students feel connected and supported.”
--Betsy DeVos, U.S. Secretary of Education
SHIFTING MINDSET
While cell phones were once viewed as a distraction in the classroom, that mindset is shifting. In a study sponsored by the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) in the 2009-10 school year, 74% of public schools recorded at least one incidence of violence, which includes serious violence and fights, physical attacks, or threats of physical attack. If a cellular signal is weak or non-existent, the safety of staff and students is at risk.
In that same study, it revealed the two most pressing School Safety Concerns:
RELIABLE CELLULAR SIGNAL HELPS CREATE SAFE SCHOOLS
Strong cell coverage is essential to effective two-way communication. Teachers and students inside your school must be able to connect with emergency responders outside of the facility.
CHALLENGES TO INDOOR CELL RECEPTION
While we don’t want to expect tragedies to happen, it’s important for schools to have appropriate measures in place in the event that it does--and there are solutions.
