School safety is complex – learn how the largest districts in America are making it simpler. Large districts shouldn’t be regarded as “different” from others; it’s better to view them as harbingers of trends the entire education space will soon face. One key lesson from large districts is that procuring solutions based on budget cycle leaves districts with a collection of point-solutions that don’t work together and are hard to maintain. By folding many operations into one streamlined platform, districts can reduce cumbersome contracts, shorten training times, and make safety processes quicker and more efficient. Above other priorities, school safety procedures must work perfectly – so, a platform approach to school safety is not only preferable but necessary.
