Case Study
Mooresville Graded School District: Digital Safety Sentry
NORTH CAROLINA | 5,001 - 25,000 STUDENTS | SAFETY MANAGEMENT FOR GOOGLE
Reliable Way to Monitor Email and Files
The Challenge:
Located in Mooresville, North Carolina, Mooresville Graded SD serves 6,200 students across eight schools. With a 1:1 initiative rolled out across all grades, and with students in the third grade and up taking those computers home, the district needed a reliable way to monitor email and files online.
A Sentry for Digital Content
The Solution:
Implementing Gaggle has helped the administrative team at Mooresville Graded SD rest easier at night. The district knows that Gaggle is continually watching for keywords and other indicators of a problem—and that the technology is backed up by human safety experts who vet the content and decide on the best path forward.
Proving Its Value
The Results:
In place for about 10 years, Mooresville Graded SD’s student safety platform has proven its value on numerous occasions. Of particular concern are the alerts regarding possible illegal activity, self-harm, and violence toward others.
Due to Gaggle's proactive approach to student safety, the district has successfully intervened in scenarios ranging from planned physical fights between students to possible break-ins where police were called to investigate.
“With the current state of school violence and safety, we need to have as much information as we can to make sure all of our kids are safe.”
