2. Contract Renewal – Centegix CrisisAlert System (Not to exceed $1,104,000) (8 docs)
Why: School Safety is an important consideration in education. School districts must strive to maintain safe campuses so that students can learn, and staff can support the educational process. Fights, unauthorized individuals, suspicious activity, and other events that cause concern can disrupt the educational process and threaten the safety of school sites.

Summary: Presented by: Mr. Elijah Palmer, Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Division
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the renewal of the Centegix CrisisAlert system in the amount of $1,104,000 from the original overall cost of $3,933,000 as a safety and security enhancement to be installed in all elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the DeKalb County School District. The original agreement is for 5 years (three years with a two-year option for renewal). We are in year-2 of the contract.
Details: The Centegix CrisisAlert System is an integrated crisis management platform that accelerates the critical response times and communication needed in the event of an emergency. This safety and security solution has the ability to deliver precise alert location, immediate audio and visual incident notification, and simple activation via a wearable CrisisAlert badge. The alert system empowers teachers and administrators to act and respond to potential crisis situations with confidence. The rapid response capability allows teachers and staff to immediately get help anywhere on the campus. Lockdowns can be implemented through the usage of this system.
