“By implementing this cutting-edge technology, we are taking proactive steps to enhance our crisis management capabilities and protect our school community.

"Cameras may capture events, but they cannot prevent them. Without the right tools, we are forced to react rather than proactively address potential threats,” said Jeff Mount, Superintendent at Mason County Central School District. “School safety is my top priority, and my goal is to provide the confidence that MCCSD can detect potential threats well before they reach us. With ZeroEyes, I know that our students and campus are protected."
