In this episode, we dive deep into the conversation around school safety and the increasing use of panic buttons. Are they enough? We discuss how panic buttons compare to fire alarms and explore the risks of false alarms and swatting. More importantly, we highlight the need for clear communication, coordinated responses, and taking protective actions during an emergency. From the cost of implementation to the complexities of response, we emphasize that school safety is about more than just panic buttons—it's about creating a secure, well-prepared environment through layered protection.
