The District would like to purchase wearable safety devices for all District staff of which act as "panic buttons" and should be able to be manually activated. The District would like to view demonstrations, pilot and implement a wearable safety alerting device for all employees (approximately 3000), across all district campuses. This system should be designed to provide a multi-tiered safety alerting approach to increase communication of an emergency and decrease response timeframes. These devices should be wearable and easy to operate while deterring false alarms or off campus alerts. These devices should be able to communicate the location to key building personnel through the most effective way possible. The devices must have total coverage at all district buildings, location accuracy, and one button or single motion activation for immediate notifications that are both audio and visual. The system shall have robust alert management capability. The system adopted will be District wide at all District buildings (school and non-school) and shall have the ability to connect and correspond with the site that the device is located within at any given time. The District desires to implement an initial Pilot program at a couple of schools without commitment of full implementation. If deemed necessary, the District reserves the right to pilot more than one system at different locations. The pilot program should be approximately 6 months at the District's discretion. The pilot program must begin around August of 25/26 school year. The District desires full deployment and system adoption PRIOR to the 26/27 school year, of which would be the last phase.
