Weld County School District: Gaggle Keeps Watch

Eliminating Time-Consuming False Reports

The Challenge:

As a small district with six schools that have about 2,000 students, Weld County SD’s staff members are maxed out, often wearing multiple hats. The school district was using an email filtering program that triggered a lot of time-consuming false reports and that didn’t act on student security.

They needed a way to monitor its students’ email and document-sharing activity. Making that happen would require a technology platform much more robust and capable than what it was already using.

Around the Clock Student Safety Monitoring

The Solution:

The district’s Chief Intervention & Safety Officer insisted on using Gaggle to monitor one-to-one devices in the district, through Google accounts. Paired with a web filtering program, the solution handles 24/7/365 monitoring of students’ online activity.

Better Sleep with Gaggle on Watch

The Results:

Since implementing Gaggle, multiple student situations have come to the administration’s
attention, and the district has come to rely on its student safety platform. Administrators can now sleep better at night knowing that Gaggle is on watch.

Rhea County
School District

Rhea County needed a system in place to monitor student safety, but did not have the systems or administration procedures in place to support it. After implementing Gaggle, administrators now understand how to properly handle a wide range of student safety situations.

Keene Independent
School District

Hoping to ensure students were safe while using Google’s suite of educational collaboration tools, this Texas district implemented Gaggle Safety Management. In December 2019, Gaggle’s digital student safety net helped prevent a suicide at Keene High School.

Oklahoma City
Public Schools

Oklahoma City Public Schools adopted Gaggle to ensure student safety not just through brick and mortar locations, but also online. Major student situations have been intercepted and resolved, but students have also used the system to alert administrators of other threats.
