Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.
I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety.
Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.
This is no different from the State of Texas vaccination records database. Keep that private even if an individual receives care via the public system.
OMG. So many reasons. Not sure if it's mandatory but nobody wants politicians to access our private health. That's between us and our doctors. Also, something similar was done in the Adolf Mustache Man days and we know what happened then. No repeat please!
a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

ReplyCell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.
