The Fond du lac School District and St. Mary’s Springs Academy of Fond du Lac have a new app designed to enhance communication during crisis lockdown situations. Both schools kicked off the school year with a series of drills to prepare teachers, staff and students for a variety of potential safety incidents. A portion of the training featured what’s called Roomsponder, a locally developed Online tool built to enhance communication and accountability during an emergency. Roomsponder LLC president, Sara Hathaway, says the app covers every room of every building in the school district and features an intuitive, user-friendly interface so teachers and staff can instantly account for everyone in a building. Hathaway says Roomsponder can be accessed from anywhere using a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Access to Roomsponder can be shared with first responders and medical staff to facilitate a quick response to a situation.
