Event Summary:
In the wake of numerous school shootings nationwide, it is becoming a hard-learned, but valuable lesson for many school administrators and law enforcement officials that effective lockdown response goes far beyond just app-based notifications.
This webinar provides school district stakeholders with a wealth of information that details why these app-based systems, when used in isolation, often fall short, referencing the Uvalde tragedy as a case study.
