OneScreen Issues Position on Safety in Schools: What We Can Do

We are deeply saddened on behalf of all the families who have suffered from school violence. It is clear that providing the next generation with a safe environment for learning must take precedence.

At OneScreen, we are dedicated to improving educational outcomes through technology. That is why we are actively taking steps to help educators prevent future incidents, respond quicker to all types of emergencies and offer solutions that direct responders to where they are needed as soon as possible.

For more than a decade, we’ve built customized, intelligent technologies to help educators and students accelerate learning in the classroom. This year, we’ve expanded that role to help schools make every classroom, and the surrounding campus, a safer place to learn.

Our active steps to address critical events and issues involve products and people:

• MeerkatSafe, a real-time alert and location system, gives teachers a wearable badge to get help immediately with the touch of a button. MeerkatSafe is included with all installations of Touchscreen 6 and higher.
• NeuroCam is an AI-enhanced security system with next-gen processors in camera to not only record events but understand and react when something is wrong.
• PrimeCam is the cost-conscious, high resolution IP-based cameras that easily integrates with existing security systems.
• Aimal Rextin, our new Data Scientist who is currently investigating data on bullying, SEL and community outreach in search of definitive ways to prevent school violence.
• David Eakles, our Director of Education meets with fellow principals and school administrators on what they need right now.
• We will use our media platform to promote school safety by offering suggestions, presenting relevant news and conducting original research.

We are eager to hear from you – our extended family of educators, administrators, technologists and parents of students everywhere – on your ideas, concerns and hopes for a better tomorrow.
