Centegix, a new crisis alert technology, has been approved by the Tucson Unified School District board and is set to be implemented in schools to enhance safety measures. The system equips teachers and staff with a badge featuring a clicker that allows them to report emergencies, summon help, and alert the entire building quickly and effectively. TUSD Superintendent Dr. Gabriel Trujillo views this as a significant advancement in terms of security and safety for students and staff.
The Catalina Foothills School District has also voted to adopt this new technology, with Communications Director Julie Farbarik expressing excitement about its implementation. The technology is designed to keep students and staff safer on school campuses during emergencies, creating a more secure and responsive environment for learning. Parent Jennifer Reyes shared her relief knowing that this technology will be introduced in her daughter’s school, emphasizing the importance of keeping children safe both at home and at school.
The new crisis alert technology has received positive feedback from both school districts and parents, with a unanimous vote in favor of implementing it. The system aims to provide peace of mind for families and ensure a safe environment for students and staff. With the new technology in place, schools can better respond to emergencies and enhance overall safety measures, ultimately creating a more secure learning environment for everyone involved.
