Centegix
Russellville Independent School District, with sponsorship from the City of Russellville, has purchased the CENTEGIX Safety Platform for the district. CENTEGIX is a multilayered Kentucky school safety solution that provides the foundation for a school safety ecosystem. It features a variety of tools that work together to improve school emergency preparedness, create reportable data, and shorten response times.
The CENTEGIX Safety Platform solutions include:
- Crisis Alert: A wearable mobile panic button with precise location information for rapid incident response
- Safety Blueprint: A dynamic map that assists emergency responders in locating safety assets and people during emergencies
- Visitor Management: Technology that enables schools to authenticate, manage, and locate visitors
- Reunification: Cloud-based software that digitizes the reunification process to prioritize efficiency and help staff regain control when emergencies occur
How does it work?
The CrisisAlert badges serve as a silent panic alert system. Teachers and staff can now call for help with the push of a button on the badge they wear daily.
When an alert is activated by pushing the button on the badge, administrators can see who pushed the button and the location so they can send immediate help to protect our students and staff.
There are two types of alerts staff can initiate.
- Staff Alert: Three clicks of the badge initiates a Staff Alert. This is an individual call for help that might include medical emergencies, disruptive behavior, or the immediate need for administrators or emergency personnel.
- Campuswide Alert: Multiple and continuous clicks of the badge initiates a campus Lockdown. Through this new safety feature, our campuses and buildings are now equipped with strobe lights that flash and an intercom announcement that lets our students and staff know a Lockdown is in place.
