Case Study
South Kingstown School District Adopts Proactive Safety Tool
RHODE ISLAND | UNDER 5,000 STUDENTS | SAFETY MANAGEMENT FOR GOOGLE
Encouraging Students to Speak Up for Safety
The Challenge:
The South Kingstown School District needed a platform that would allow students to speak up about bullying, drugs, or unhealthy relationships.
Proactive Approach to Student Safety
The Solution:
Student safety platform combined with Gaggle SpeakUp for Safety provide a safe environment where students can voice concerns and stay safe online.
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.”
