Two schools take a holistic approach to campus safety with a uniquely integrated communications solution from Avaya and Valcom
Santa Clara, Calif. – November 20, 2017 – A keen focus on safety has led two schools on opposite sides of the country to develop best practices supported by an integrated, multi-faceted communications solution from Avaya and Valcom, an Avaya DevConnect technology partner. Placerville Union School District in Northern California and Gottesman RTW Academy in N.J. may be miles apart, but share a similar approach to making their Smart Schools safer and smarter, speeding response times and improving outcomes should a crisis occur.
Placerville Union School District has two elementary schools and one middle school, with about 150 staff members between them. The district was compelled to streamline the emergency response process, realizing that doing so meant technology had to play a vital role. With Avaya and Valcom, staff across the district can:
In N.J., at a smaller institution but one no less focused on campus safety, Gottesman RTW Academy looked to streamline its entire communications system with the construction of a new facility. Like the Placerville Union School District, Gottesman integrated its Avaya IP Office Platform with Valcom’s Emergency Mass Communications and Live Paging System. The combined solution delivers efficiency, reduces resource needs and increases communication among students and staff at the school and with the larger community. The system is capable of reaching 100 percent of the school population with emergency notifications made from any classroom or office.
Quotes
“When you’re in panic mode, you don’t have time to think. That’s why it was really important for the office staff to be able to flip a switch and have everything go into action. Hopefully we won’t ever have to use these solutions in an emergency situation. But we have peace of mind knowing that we’re more prepared than we were six years ago.” --Judi Whittington, technology coordinator, Placerville Union School District
“Now, we poll people after every single drill. The amount of people that we’re able to reach in an emergency is at 100 percent — and if it isn’t, we’re able to make adjustments very easily to get that at 100 percent, where it needs to be. Switching to Avaya was a seamless transition. It’s something I don’t really have to worry about — I just know it works.” —Matt Baran, IT coordinator, Gottesman RTW Academy
