The Franklin High School emergency system has recently seen some changes. A new system was adopted in hopes to react better in emergency situations.

An emergency management system is a plan to help make sure everybody is safe during an emergency. The old system that FHS used was Share911. This outdated system required the staff to manually take roll and physically deliver the attendance to the safety team.

The new system adopted by FHS is CatapultEMS, a newer system that allows teachers and staff to input attendance electronically without having to physically deliver a paper to the safety team.

Being able to deliver attendance to the safety team faster allows them to find the students who are missing efficiently, allowing everything to move more smoothly.

“The safety of students and staff is most important,” Vice Principal Eduardo Martir said. The purpose of updating these systems is to ensure safety for students and staff and overall provide a safer environment.
