Liberty Hill ISD Partners with Raptor Technologies to Enhance School Emergency Response with Wearable Alert System
The district will deploy Raptor Badge Alert across all campuses, equipping staff with a fast, reliable way to initiate emergency alerts and improving real-time communication with first responders. Raptor Badge Alert is a fully managed, end-to-end solution built for K-12 schools. It delivers scalable, compliant emergency response technology to help school districts meet safety mandates and respond quickly to critical incidents.
"When we partnered with Raptor Technologies to pilot their Raptor Badge Alert system, we expected it would enhance our emergency response capabilities. What impressed us most was how intuitively our staff adopted the technology from day one,' said Joe Taveras, PMP, LHISD District Safety & Emergency Operations Coordinator. 'The three-click activation allows our team to call for assistance while keeping their focus on students. The location mapping feature eliminates guesswork for responders, and importantly, it ensures even our substitute teachers are fully integrated into our safety protocols. The technology delivers exceptional value for our investment and has become a key part of our daily operations."
Empowering Faster, More Reliable Emergency Communication
Raptor Badge Alert is a wearable, one-button panic alert system that connects directly to Raptor's Emergency Management platform. It enables staff to discreetly signal help, sending critical alert data, including location and type of emergency, to administrators, security personnel, and 911-connected first responders.
With the addition of Raptor Badge Alert, Liberty Hill ISD joins a growing number of school systems prioritizing multi-layered communication strategies that extend coverage beyond traditional app-based or desktop solutions.
Combined with dynamic incident mapping, real-time accountability, and reunification tools, Raptor's Emergency Management Suite gives Liberty Hill a comprehensive and scalable platform to coordinate every phase of an emergency, from initiation to full recovery — all from a single system.
'We're proud to support Liberty Hill ISD with a fully integrated, scalable emergency solution,' said Chris Noell, Chief Product Officer at Raptor Technologies. 'This partnership reflects our shared commitment to keeping students and staff safe.'
To further expand coverage, Liberty Hill ISD is also using Vivi's Emergency Visual Notification technology integrated with Raptor Emergency Management. This integration instantly broadcasts alert messages across classroom and campus screens when an alert is initiated, ensuring students, staff, and visitors receive clear, timely instructions during emergencies — regardless of their location on campus.
Serving more than 10,000 students, Liberty Hill ISD prioritizes safety innovation. The adoption of Raptor Badge Alert reflects its continued leadership in proactive emergency preparedness and staff empowerment. Raptor Technologies is honored to support Liberty Hill ISD in strengthening school safety and emergency preparedness.

Osprey Packs's Newest Bike Collection Creates Carry Solutions for Every Rider
New Syncro, Raptor / Raven LT and Berm models join the category for spring 2026 CORTEZ, Colo., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Osprey Packs, a leader in creating top-quality, high-performance innovative carry solutions, is equipping more riders with their ideal pack system. The brand's spring 2026 collection offers something for every genre biker, from feature-rich powerhouses that prioritize technical performance to straightforward, reliable packs that cater to first-ride adventures. SyncroFor advanced riders who push the distance and brave the elements, Osprey's reimagined Syncro meets the demands of those who rely on feature-rich, technical carry solutions. The unisex series uses AirSpeed™ suspension with a tensioned mesh backpanel for ultimate airflow, while an adjustable torso length with five inches of adjustment enables a more custom fit. Bikers can rely on a stable, balanced ride with the Syncro, as the pack's winged shoulder straps, bike-specific yoke and updated hipbelt work together to optimize in-motion carry. Additionally, the stowable raincover and PFAS-free DWR treatment offer dependable weather protection, so it's always the right "riding conditions." The Syncro series includes the Syncro 5 (MSRP $160), Syncro 12 (MSRP $180) and Syncro 20 (MSRP $195). Raptor I Raven LTThe all-new Raptor | Raven LT (MSRP $140) is built for rowdy, technical rides over rough terrain. Ideal for bikers who prioritize stability and want to carry the essentials without added bulk, Raptor | Raven LT delivers technical, yet efficient performance. While this new series maintains the same harness system as the fully featured Raptor | Raven family, streamlined updates include a hipbelt with ventilated wings and simplified pocket organization to create an overall lighter and minimalistic offering. The men's-specific Raptor LT and women's-specific Raven LT are both available in a 12-liter volume, and made with bluesign® approved, 100% recycled materials. BermAn easy entry into Osprey bike hydration, the all-new Berm is a fun and approachable offering for newer riders. Designed with a unisex fit and simplified feature set, Berm delivers a streamlined, ergonomic construction that keeps hydration close, essentials secure and comfort at an all-time high. Berm is designed with Osprey's signature AirScape™ backpanel to enhance ventilation, as well as a separate compartment with an easy-access zipper that stores an included Hydraulics reservoir. Additional features include a magnet bite valve attachment, zippered pockets for small essentials, blinking light attachment (blinking light not included) and built-in reflectivity. Available in four muted colorways inspired by the trails, the Berm series includes the Berm 2 (MSRP $75), Berm 4 (MSRP $85), Berm 8 (MSRP $95) and Berm 12 (MSRP $115). Seral I SavuRounding out Osprey's 2026 bike collection, the updated Seral | Savu offers an off-back option for mountain bike minimalists. Ideal for shorter trips or those who ride with lighter loads, the lumbar hydration packs provide just enough carry for a few essentials and water. Osprey's bike-specific, angled hipbelt and compression straps make the Seral | Savu a stable and comfortable option for those who prefer the simplicity and freedom of a lumbar pack instead of an over-the-shoulder model. The Seral 4 (MSRP $95) and Seral 7 (MSRP $115) include a Hydraulics LS 1.5 L lumbar reservoir, while the Savu 2 (MSRP $60), Savu 5 (MSRP $70) and Savu 5 EF (MSRP $70) offer balanced single or double bottle carry that can be compressed without water for shorter rides. Osprey's spring 2026 collection, including the new bike models, will be available in February 2026 at and at specialty retailers in over 60 countries worldwide.

1 Reason I'm Watching QuantumScape Stock in 2025
Key Points QuantumScape is a leader in solid-state battery technology. The company recently adopted a more sophisticated manufacturing process called Cobra. Management hopes to start field testing in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than QuantumScape › Over the past three months, shares of QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) have powered notably higher. While the S&P 500 index is up about 13.5% as of this writing, QuantumScape stock has raced more than 125% higher. But these fantastic gains would've been even better if the market hadn't turned its back on the solid-state battery specialist, with the stock giving up about half the gains over the past three weeks. But just because the bears are out for QuantumScape stock doesn't mean that investors should forget it completely. There's one thing, in fact, that I'm paying close attention to in the remaining months of the year. I'm focusing on B1 samples before anything else While solid-state battery technology has been around for some time, the technological challenges with respect to manufacturing these batteries at scale have precluded companies from releasing them commercially. QuantumScape, though, has made notable progress in overcoming these hurdles. During its second-quarter 2025 conference call, QuantumScape announced that it had integrated the Cobra process as the baseline for separator production. With this achievement, the company claims a 25-times productivity improvement over Raptor in addition to 200 times greater output than in 2023. The next goal on QuantumScape's 2025 to-do list is to commence higher-volume QSE-5 B1 samples now that the Cobra process is in place. If it achieves this feat, it will prove the value of the Cobra process and suggest it's another key step closer to overcoming the manufacturing challenges that have undermined peers from achieving commercial success. Should the company struggle to produce B1 samples, that may delay its ability to achieve another goal: field testing its technology in 2026. Is now a good time to energize your holdings with QuantumScape stock? QuantumScape's success in adopting the Cobra process is commendable; however, a failure to produce the B1 samples could indicate a rocky path ahead. Plenty of risks remain with QuantumScape stock, so investors should only invest if they are comfortable with a more speculative investment. Should you invest $1,000 in QuantumScape right now? Before you buy stock in QuantumScape, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and QuantumScape wasn't one of them.
