b. Contract Renewal for Centegix dba 34ED, LLC ~ CrisisAlert Annual Fee, Onsite Maintenance & Support ~ Year 4 of 5 (Not to Exceed $1,104,000) ~ Updated 7.7.2026
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Tracey Whaley, Chief of Police, Division of Police & Public Safety
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the continued utilization of Centegix for the 2026-2027 school year to support emergency communication and campus safety initiatives across DeKalb County Schools in an amount not to exceed $1,104,000. This is year 4 of 5 annual renewal options.
Why: Maintaining the Centegix CrisisAlert system ensures uninterrupted emergency communication capabilities and builds on the current familiarity among staff. Transitioning to a new platform would require additional training, incur extra costs, and risk potential service disruption. Centegix remains a trusted, effective solution aligned with the district's commitment to safety and emergency preparedness.
Details: Centegix currently provides the CrisisAlert system, which is actively deployed district-wide across all schools and administrative buildings. The system allows staff to wear discreet panic alert badges that, when activated, instantly notify school leadership and/or law enforcement. It enables real-time location tracking, which significantly reduces emergency response times. Staff throughout the district have already been trained and are comfortable with the system's use, making it a seamless tool for day-to-day safety and emergency preparedness. Additionally, Centegix offers robust reporting tools that support compliance and help document incidents for safety audits. Over the past school year, the system has performed reliably and has received positive feedback from school-based staff and safety personnel.
Financial impact: Centegix Crisis Alert Solutions -138 Learning Sites (Year 4) $1,104,000.
