'Recognizing the increased threats facing our schools, AASA is pleased introduce CrisisGo, Inc. as our latest School Solutions partner" Daniel Domenech, AASA Executive Director
(PRWEB) October 20, 2016
Recognizing the increased threats and safety needs facing public schools, AASA, The School Superintendents Association, and CrisisGo, Inc. have teamed up to offer all AASA members an easy-to-use, mobile emergency communications technology application that can make schools safer. School districts can now offer their employees, teachers and parent community the CrisisGo mobile app with a Panic Button feature and emergency notification activated for free for a three-year period.
With the CrisisGo mobile communications app on their smartphones, teachers and school staff will be able to use a panic button feature to report incidents immediately to school administration and safety team. That feature combined with the CrisisGo notification capabilities, will offer powerful, real-time communications to keep school communities informed in an emergency, when every second counts.
“An educator’s worst nightmare is an act of violence in his or her school district," said Daniel A. Domenech, AASA executive director. “Recognizing the increased threats facing our schools, AASA is pleased introduce CrisisGo, Inc. as our latest School Solutions partner.”
To be eligible for this free program, AASA members must register with CrisisGo at http://www.crisisgo.com/aasaoffer before January 31, 2017. Each participating school district will have access to a district and school site(s) account that includes the CrisisGo mobile app for all school site employees and their parent communities including the Panic Button and group notification features activated for a three-year period at no cost.
“The CrisisGo Emergency Management Platform offers school districts a mobile technology that simplifies emergency planning and enhances communications during live crisis events,” said Bill Reynolds, CrisisGo co-founder. “The free panic button and emergency notification features, now available to all AASA members, are just two key elements of the CrisisGo platform to help schools and other organizations prepare for and effectively manage crisis situations.”
CrisisGo will offer implementation services to participating school districts to get schools up and running with the emergency communications app. School districts can learn more about the AASA/CrisisGo partnership on the AASA School Solutions website.
