Jacksonville teacher raises concerns over new school safety app feature – Action News Jax

/in


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — There are new concerns tonight about a school safety app that is set to launch in local schools in just weeks. The school safety app allows teachers to report issues no matter how big or small.

I spoke to a teacher who says one feature may cause delays in an emergency.

Now Duval County Schools Safety app’s lead focus is to help teachers identify possible threats. But one DCPS teacher has concerns about how often the app makes you update your password.

The school safety app is called Raptor Alert.

“We’re supposed to be able to use this app to communicate because we can’t always be next to a telephone,” says the teacher.

This teacher, who wishes to remain anonymous over job concerns, says having to update your password at inconvenient times could mean the difference between life and death.

“If there’s an emergency, for instance how many of us are going to remember at that moment what our school password is because we have to change that every 90 days,” says the teacher.

Other local counties using the same app do not require a password update. Now it is an option to change your password before that 90-day deadline is up. The teacher thinks there are more convenient options.

“When you look at your phone and your face unlocks it,” says the teacher.

She’s talking about facial recognition.

A DCPS representative explains why passwords are necessary saying, “It’s to protect against hackers and other computer security threats.”

They also added that “updates to the app would not be pushed during school operating hours.”

So in the case of an emergency teachers would not be interrupted in any way.

The teacher also notes that no one has shown her how to use the app, but DCPS tells me that teachers do have access to online training resources and documentation about how to use the app.

Another concern? With all the devices in a school, the teacher says she worries about signal strength when using the app.

ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages International Business Machines Corporation Investors with Losses Exceeding $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – IBM | News

/in


NEW YORK, May 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) between April 4, 2017 and October 20, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased IBM securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the IBM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5104 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors.
