The push for nationwide implementation of panic alarm systems comes amid a broader conversation about school safety and the need for proactive measures to prevent and respond to violent incidents. As lawmakers and school officials continue to debate the best strategies for keeping students safe, advocates are hopeful that the success of the Georgia high school’s panic alarm system will serve as a model for other schools to follow.
