                                    Over the course of the year, the system generated thousands of alerts across categories that included self-harm, explicit content, and threats of violence. The vast majority were reviewed and resolved at the analyst level. A smaller, critical subset required direct action by District personnel, and in those cases, students received real, timely support.%u201cThe system is doing exactly what we hoped it would do - giving our school based teams the information they need to reach students before a situation becomes a crisis.%u201d%u2014 School District of Palm Beach County, IT Security DepartmentWhat School Staff Had To SayIn April 2026, the District surveyed Principals, Assistant Principals, schoolbased Threat Management teams, and other end users who used the Student Safety Monitoring Solution throughout the year.

In each of these cases, a student was struggling, and the system surfaced that struggle in time for someone to step in.These were not near-misses. They were interventions. A counselor who received an alert on a Monday morning and checked in on a student before the first class. A principal who acted on a high-severity notification and connected a family to mental health resources.
