Fairplay’s high school will be the state’s first to install a one-button threat alert system in the event of an active shooter.
South Park High School is set to utilize the ASR Threat Alert System after a Florida company that provides critical incident response technology donated it.
The technology issues immediate emergency notifications to staff and students after pressing a button, and connects directly with police dispatch, sidestepping 911 and third-party call centers.
The system was given to South Park High School as part of the STEP Up for Schools initiative, which was established to improve security in underserved schools.
