Districts to Receive K12 Alerts® Premier Notification System at No Cost

K12 Alerts® Launches Grant Program at the T&L Show in Seattle, Washington

White Plains, NY - Keeping students safe and families informed in an increasingly uncertain world is a top priority for everyone at K12 Alerts® and all of its clients. With increasing budget and banking concerns nationwide, K12 Alerts seeks to ease the financial burden for 2 school districts to obtain its premier Emergency Notification and Parent My Account® portal data collection systems at the National School Boards Association Technology + Learning Conference in Seattle, Washington from October 28th to the 29th. The districts that are selected to receive the grants will receive the entire K12 Alerts ENS platform at no cost to the district for the entire 2008-2009 school year, including any setup and training costs.

The K12 Alerts system notifies participants anytime, anywhere, through three modes of communication, including email, text messaging to cellphones and by telephone. "I am delighted to offer this service to the school districts that are selected at no cost and giving back to the community during these financially challenging times," said Gregory Bender, CEO and president of K12 Alerts. "But most of all to give parents some peace of mind in the event of an emergency and save the District's funds," said Bender. "We are committed to helping parents stay informed and keeping students safe, in addition to lowering the district costs by augmenting and sometimes eliminating paper communications and postal costs," he said.
