Henderson County Schools have installed a new crisis alert system. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:
The school district says the Centegix System has been added to every school building.
Officials say the system includes wearable badges for staff with an emergency button.
Once the button is pressed, audio and visual notifications are sent facility-wide using colored strobe lights, desktop alerts, and building intercoms.
They say it will also allow the entire building to go on lockdown instantly.
Henderson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Bob Lawson says the “top priority” is the safety of students and staff.
Lawson says the Centegix Crisis Response Solution will add another layer of safety and ensure the school system is “prepared for any situation that may arise.”
