Agenda Item
a. Installation of Centegix CrisisAlert System in Additional Schools (Not to exceed $125,000)
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Elijah Palmer, Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Division
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the installation of the Centegix CrisisAlert System in the amount of $125,000 as a safety and security enhancement to be installed in five (5) additional locations. (1) DeKalb Preparatory Academy: 1402 Austin Drive, Decatur, GA 30032, (2) DeKalb PATH Academy: 3007 Hermance Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30319, (3) International Community Charter: 2418 Wood Trail Lane, Decatur, GA 30033, (4) The Tapestry School: 3130 Raymond Dr, Atlanta, GA 30340, (5) Park Lake Administrative Center: 2175 Park Lake Drive, Atlanta, GA 30345. The charter schools will reimburse the district for the costs.
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. The approval of the use of this Cooperative agreement meets Strategic Goal Area 6: Organizational Excellence.
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.
