Visitor management tool screens and verifies guests to help the
district identify potential threats at the door
MADISON,
Wis., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Singlewire Software, the leader in solutions that help keep people
safe and informed, is supporting Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD)
with its safety initiatives for the 2024–25 school year. The
district has implemented Visitor Aware, a visitor screening tool
from the Madison-based company, to
help enhance security at all school entrances. The system enables
the district to establish a standard check-in procedure for all
guests and identify potential issues before they are able to fully
gain access to a school.
"There is no higher priority for us, as a
district, than ensuring that everyone who learns, teaches, and
works in our buildings is safe." - Ian
Folger, external communications officer for MMSD
"There is no higher priority for us, as a district, than
ensuring that everyone who learns, teaches, and works in our
buildings is safe," said Ian Folger,
external communications officer for MMSD. "Visitor management is a
crucial component of our comprehensive approach to security, as it
allows us to control and monitor who gains access to our
schools."
Visitor Aware is a visitor check-in and management solution that
eliminates the district's need for pen and paper sign-in sheets,
helping district officials know exactly who is entering their
buildings while having confidence they are only letting in people
who are allowed to be there. Using ID scanning and encrypted facial
recognition, Visitor Aware screens visitors and volunteers against
sex offender databases, government watchlists, and active legal
injunctions. Issues are flagged for staff to identify potential
threats and approved guests are given a printed badge to show they
are allowed to be in the building.
"We are committed to helping every district achieve their safety
goals so they can create a secure learning environment for their
students and staff," said Terry
Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. "That
commitment starts in our own community by helping local districts
enhance school entrance security with Visitor Aware."
In addition to MMSD, Visitor Aware has been implemented in
several other Madison-area school
districts, including Monona-Grove,
Waunakee, Oregon, and McFarland. For more information about how
