School Safety and the Critical Role of Wireless Connectivity

January 17, 2025
SOUTH 230E
While there are many solutions that could make our schools safer, we will examine how public safety communications failures have been a factor in mass-casualty incidents, and how we must work to improve or eliminate such problems wherever possible. This session explores state and federal legislation (such as ALYSSA'S LAW and ERCES [Emergency Responder Communications Enhancement Systems] requirements in building codes) and cellular enhancement (enabling 911 calls and mass notification) that offer help to schools to ensure that critical communications are always available inside school buildings during emergencies. This expert panel will detail why this is critical in your school, how to assess your communications and where to find funding.
Speakers
Bryan Holmes, Police Chief - Orange County Public Schools
Mr. Eric Toenjes, National Market Manager, Wireless - Graybar
