District seeks board approval for Raptor alert system to speed emergency response; $35,200 price cited
Summary
District technology and safety staff recommended Raptor Technologies’ Raptor Alert to improve response times and two‑way communication in emergencies; the district cited a $35,200 cost for all buildings and plans to bring the purchase to the board on Jan. 28 for approval.
Mister Hamilton and Mister Stile presented Raptor Technologies’ school safety suite to the board and asked for permission to return on January 28 with a purchase request. Hamilton said the district prioritized a product that would shorten response times and allow two‑way communication between staff, administrators and responders during emergencies.
Mister Stile described features the committee valued: integration with the district’s student information system (PowerSchool), compatibility with Chromebooks and ClearTouch display panels, and alignment with the I Love You Guys Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). The presenters demonstrated Raptor Alert’s critical alerts (e.g., lockdown, evacuation) and Team Assist (targeted assistance such as medical help) and said critical alerts propagate to devices within about 1.5 seconds.
