Northern York County School District's Worthy Investment

PENNSYLVANIA | UNDER 5,000 STUDENTS | SAFETY MANAGEMENT FOR MICROSOFT

NEW - Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) approves $600,000 grant for Gaggle's digital safety and security tool.

Measuring Success by Students' Lives Saved

When Northern York County School District (NYCSD) implemented our student safety solution, administrators knew if it helped saved just one life, it would be more than worth the investment.

Monitoring Student Accounts for Concerning Online Activity

The Challenge:

Located in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, Northern York County School District serves more than 3,000 students across four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district needed to monitor students' Microsoft 365 accounts for concerning activity in a 1:1 laptop environment.

Gaggle Helps Protect 1,400+ Districts

The Solution:

Focused on student safety and security, NYCSD regularly implements new tools and technology to keep its campuses safe. The district chose Gaggle to help safeguard students online based on their long history of working with over 1,400 districts and the fact that his team was already familiar with the product.

Quick Action to Prevent Student Suicide

The Results:

Gaggle student safety software was put to the test recently when a student used his computer to write a suicide note to his family detailing his plan, outlining his struggles, and essentially saying goodbye to them. Gaggle flagged the document as a potential problem and immediately alerted the school’s administrators.
