Benet Academy CrisisGo Implementation Case Study

This case study documents the implementation of CrisisGo at Benet Academy, a Catholic high school in Lisle, Illinois, aimed at enhancing safety and preparedness. The Dean of Students, Joe Cabay, outlines the challenges faced with traditional safety procedures, which relied heavily on PA announcements and manual attendance tracking during drills. The need for a more effective alert system and real-time communication led to the exploration of CrisisGo, a platform that offers centralized safety management. The school adopted CrisisGo to streamline communication, improve attendance tracking during drills, and store safety plans digitally. The implementation process involved extensive training and practice, which helped staff become familiar with the system. Over time, the school has seen improvements in preparedness and confidence among staff and students. The case study highlights the positive impact of CrisisGo on the school community's perception of safety and its effectiveness during real emergencies, showcasing a shift from paper-based procedures to a digital solution.
