Reading, July 31, 2018 State Sen. Judy Schwank (D-Berks) will join members of the Berks County Intermediate Unit to announce state grant funding to support a new school safety initiative, CrisisGo.
The app is an emergency communication platform that gives school districts the mobile communications tools necessary to ensure that teachers, staff and administrators know exactly what to do during any emergency and allows them to continuously communicate as a crisis unfolds.
It will be deployed to all public school districts and some private schools in Berks County this fall.
“This state funding is giving schools a way to enhance their emergency preparedness planning,” Schwank said. “I’m thrilled to announce this initiative.”
Schwank will speak during a press conference within the BCIU’s School Administrator’s Conference.
