K-12 leaders are navigating an increasingly complex safety landscape. Districts are managing evolving security concerns, stretched staff resources, aging facilities, and multiple campuses across their communities. They are also responding to rising expectations from parents and stakeholders while balancing physical safety priorities with digital learning initiatives, sustainability goals, and constrained budgets. In this environment, disconnected security systems can no longer provide the visibility, responsiveness, or efficiency that modern schools require.

This executive-level webinar will explore how K–12 districts can modernize physical security with a cloud-managed, AI-powered approach. Drawing on real-world district examples, including multi-site deployments managed with limited IT staff, we’ll examine how schools can improve safety outcomes while reducing operational complexity.

What attendees will learn:

  • Best practices for achieving end-to-end visibility across campuses, from classrooms and hallways to parking lots and district facilities
  • Ways to turn video and environmental sensor data into actionable intelligence, including vape detection, occupancy monitoring, air quality tracking, and faster incident resolution
  • How AI-driven analytics can enhance safety and efficiency, from proactive alerting to pattern recognition and resource optimization
  • Strategies to simplify infrastructure and lower total cost of ownership, eliminating legacy servers and enabling remote management across multi-site districts

This webinar is designed for Superintendents, CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors, Facilities Leaders, School Resource Officers, and District Safety Teams responsible for protecting students and staff.
