Zane Trace Schools Model New Safety Tech Powered by Verizon

The initiative functions by linking school safety technology with local business investment. While Verizon Business provides the essential infrastructure—secure, real-time connectivity for video and alert systems—the Status Solutions Network facilitates a funding model where local companies sponsor the district. This arrangement ensures that critical safety tools remain operational without straining the school’s budget.

Superintendent Ty Wertman notes that the integration has fundamentally altered the district's approach to crisis management. By utilizing the Status Solutions platform, administrators gain improved visibility and faster coordination during emergencies. Beyond the immediate safety benefits, the program creates a bridge between the classroom and the local economy, allowing businesses to gain visibility through community directories and digital signage while directly contributing to the protection of the student body.
