Business Wire2 days ago
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raptor Technologies, the trusted leader in school safety and student wellbeing solutions, announced today that Springtown Independent School District has chosen to enhance campus safety with the adoption of Raptor® Badge Alert, a wearable panic alert system that empowers staff to request help instantly from anywhere on campus. Fully integrated with Raptor Technologies' Emergency Management platform, the product streamlines communication and coordination during emergencies, improving response time and providing full visibility for safety teams and first responders.
The district is rolling out Raptor Badge Alert across all campuses, giving every staff member, including substitutes, an intuitive, reliable way to initiate alerts and stay connected to emergency protocols. Compliant with the Texas silent panic alert technology mandate and designed specifically for K–12 environments, Raptor Badge Alert is a scalable, fully managed product that helps schools meet evolving safety needs and protect their communities.
"Springtown ISD was proud to be the first district in the nation to pilot Raptor Badge Alert, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From day one, the Raptor team has gone above and beyond with their support and responsiveness. Implementation was smooth, setup was handled for us, and our team was up and running quickly,' said Amanda Lanicek, Chief Technology Officer at Springtown ISD. 'We are grateful to partner with a team as dedicated and responsive as Raptor Technologies!'
Enabling Faster, More Reliable Emergency Communication
Raptor Badge Alert is a one-button wearable device that connects directly to Raptor's Emergency Management platform. Staff can discreetly signal for help, instantly sending alert details, such as type of emergency and location, to administrators, security personnel, and 911-connected responders.
With this deployment, Springtown ISD joins a growing number of districts investing in multi-layered emergency communication strategies that go beyond traditional desktop or app-based products. Raptor's Emergency Management Suite unifies incident mapping, real-time accountability, and reunification products that empower teams to manage every phase of an emergency from a single platform.
'We're proud to partner with Springtown ISD to deliver technology that empowers staff and accelerates response times,' said Chris Noell, Chief Product Officer. 'Together, we're building a safer school environment. One that's proactive, connected, and prepared.'
To further enhance its emergency communication capabilities, Springtown is also leveraging Vivi's Emergency Visual Notification technology, integrated with Raptor. When an alert is initiated, messages automatically display across classroom and campus screens, ensuring students, staff, and visitors receive timely, clear instructions no matter where they are.

Use these money management tips to potentially help build a stronger financial future for your business

Starting a small business and being self-employed is exciting, but it requires a lot of time and work. A self-employed person can wear many hats or titles on any given day, including chief marketing officer, sales manager, customer service department head, and accountant. Multitasking, juggling multiple priorities, poor cash flow, and a general lack of time/energy are the primary reasons that small businesses don't thrive. Here are a few business strategies to help your business run smoother. Separate personal from business It's tempting to use existing personal credit cards, along with bank and savings accounts, for business purposes, particularly when you're getting started. But a separate setup for business income and expenses helps delineate the two, simplifies tax preparation, and may reduce personal liability. Consider multiple accounts for your business One tip for accommodating different business needs — taxes, operating expenses, and an emergency fund — is to find a financial institution that allows you to have linked yet separate accounts or funds. Once you do that, automatically divvy up every invoice payment as needed into various accounts. Figure out a digital record-keeping system you like What works for you may not work for someone else, so review the options in software programs to find out what fits your accounting style. Some have a small monthly fee but allow you to generate branded invoices and offer payment collection and tracking, account reconciliation, and custom reports for tax purposes. Create an expense tracking routine Recording your business expenses can help reduce your tax burden, but it's also imperative to maintain accurate records. Save receipts and statements, and consider a quick-scan program to keep digital copies. Use your digital record-keeping system to collect data and find a tool that helps you track business-related mileage. E-pay and e-invoice, if you can Switching to these options can help you get in the habit of immediate billing and allow people to send you money efficiently. In addition, many online processors integrate with most bookkeeping or invoicing systems to allow for seamless record-keeping collection. Consider using a tax professional When you work for yourself, taxes can be confusing and tricky. They involve not only Social Security and Medicare but also 1099s, itemizing, and quarterly payments. Investing in the services of an expert may pay off by saving you time and reducing the possibility of mistakes and fines. Review your insurance needs There are many questions you should ask regarding your business and personal insurance coverages. What would you do if you were sued? What if you couldn't work for a month? What will happen to your business when you die? Contact a State Farm® agent to review coverages such as workers' compensation coverage, commercial umbrella insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, business and professional liability insurance, health insurance, and more. Save for retirement There are retirement plan options every business owner should consider. Many self-employed people do not have a plan. Take time to review which retirement savings plan option would be best for you. Plan for the unexpected What will happen to your business after you are gone or if you become disabled? Business continuation is an important topic to consider for most small business owners. A will or trust does not always address the central problems created when this happens. This is particularly important when there are stockholders or other people who have an interest in your business. Learn more about State Farm resources available for your small business.
