Centegix, a new crisis alert technology, is making waves in school safety systems. Equipping teachers and staff with a badge featuring a clicker, this system allows for quick reporting of emergencies, summoning of help, and alerting the entire building efficiently. Recently, the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) board voted unanimously to approve this technology, with Superintendent Dr. Gabriel Trujillo praising it as a significant advancement in security and safety for students and staff. The Catalina Foothills School District has also adopted this technology, expressing excitement about its implementation.
Julie Farbarik, Communications Director at Catalina Foothills School District, highlighted the peace of mind this technology brings to families and the safe environment it creates for students and staff. Jennifer Reyes, a parent in TUSD, shared her relief knowing that her daughter’s school will soon have access to this new technology, emphasizing the importance of keeping children safe both at home and in school.
The implementation of Centegix in schools is seen as a positive step forward in ensuring the safety and security of students and staff during emergencies. Dr. Trujillo praised the touch-sensitive fob on ID badges for every employee, similar to keyless entry, as a tool that will greatly enhance response time and effectiveness in critical situations. With the introduction of this new crisis alert technology, schools are taking proactive measures to create a safer and more secure learning environment for all.
