[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read an article that said the teacher has to press it 8 times, not 3. I don’t know if that’s accurate. Seems like a lot. There are other alert systems that work from the teacher’s cell phone that do the same thing, but the teacher only has to press one or two buttons, and then emergency services knows what type of emergency and where in the building. 911 can trace the call, if you call from a landline, but there is a specific set of questions that they have to go through in order when you call. So if you call and start saying, “there’s a shooter at my school!” They will literally say, “what type of emergency, ma’am?” “Do you need police, fire, or ambulance?” “How old is the person who needs assistance?” “Does the person who needs assistance have any medical conditions that you know of?” Or whatever their script is.[/quote] 3 times for isolated emergency situations. 8 times or constant pushing for schoolwide threat situations.[/quote]
