In Texas, schools must have a way for staff to quietly call for help in emergencies. A local district is utilizing a specific tool to meet this requirement. The technology involves wearable devices that allow employees to send alerts to certain colleagues.
These alerts can be sent in various situations, including medical issues or severe weather. Further details about this system are available from the source, including how it works and who receives the alerts.
