K-12 Education FAQs

Answers for k-12 education teams

The questions our k-12 education clients ask most. Not seeing yours? Call (888) 810-2336.

Can school projects be completed over summer break?
Often, yes. We stage equipment in advance and add crews so many single-campus replacements can be finished before students return, depending on scope.
Do you support DSA-reviewed public school projects?
Yes. We have experience coordinating with DSA plan review and inspectors of record on California public school work.
Can staff trigger a lockdown from a classroom?
Yes. We can deploy lockdown buttons and integrate access control with mass notification so authorized staff can start a lockdown quickly.
Can one platform cover every school in a district?
Yes. District-wide access, video, and monitoring can be managed from one platform.
