With the safety and security of our students and staff as our highest priority, SBISD is implementing a new emergency notification system: CrisisAlert® from CENTEGIX®.
This tool enables all SBISD staff to immediately alert responders in the event of an emergency.
Real-Time Response Capabilities
One key feature of the system is the Campus-Wide Alert, which is activated when there is a significant threat on campus. When triggered, the system instantly notifies all individuals on campus to take immediate action to ensure their safety.
This alert uses both audio and visual signals:
Flashing and beeping strobe lights in classrooms and hallways
Color-coded indicators aligned with the Standard Response Protocols (Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter, or Hold)
A desktop takeover alerting all staff on their computers
What Families Should Know
Campus-Wide Alerts will only be activated in response to a significant safety threat.
Students and staff will regularly practice emergency drills using the new system to ensure preparedness and familiarity.
If you are on campus during an alert, follow directions immediately to reach a safe location.
SBISD will continue its commitment to promptly notifying parents and guardians through our mass communication systems during any safety-related incident.
“The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our highest priority,” said Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Blaine. “This partnership with CENTEGIX enhances our capabilities to quickly and effectively respond to emergencies.”
