Tech-Driven Student Safety: Unpacking the Power of Raptor Reunification

 

In an era where the safety of students is paramount, technology is offering ingenious solutions for effective school management. Among these is the Raptor reunification program – a tool that revolutionizes how schools manage the vital task of connecting students with their guardians in emergency situations.

To shed light on practical implications, Tim Leeseberg, Director of Safety and Security at Highland Country Public School, who has firsthand experience with the program, will discuss how it has shaped their school’s approach to student safety.
