Preventing Potentially Dangerous Situations

The Results:

Since implementing the platform, the district has identified and intervened in a number of different potentially dangerous situations involving its students.

For example, there was an instance where students were waiting in line for the latest video game release and watched a group of people pull up in a “shady looking” vehicle. When one of them started talking about shooting up a school, the student submitted a SpeakUp comment about it.

“It’s [Gaggle] worth every penny. If it saves just one student—or prevents him or her from going down a certain path—then it works.”

Other Case Studies

Oklahoma City Public Schools adopted Gaggle to ensure student safety not just through brick-and-mortar locations, but also online. Major student situations have been intercepted and resolved, but students have also used the system to alert administrators of other threats.
Shifting to remote learning presented a variety of challenges for this Washington district as students faced an entirely new learning environment.
This Ohio district has been using Gaggle for years, but the explosion of technology now makes the online student safety platform more critical than ever. When some grades moved to 1:1, Gaggle picked up on even more student situations, ensuring that administrators are making the right investment choice year after year.
