Spartanburg, South Carolina School District 6 Aims to Enhance School Safety With Evolv Express®

The Spartanburg, South Carolina District 6 School District prides itself on being forward-thinking and progressive. Its unwavering commitment to its students and local community doesn’t stop with academics. Keeping its students and staff safe from threats is also a top priority for the district. Dr. Mark Smith who has served the district for 24 years as a teacher, principal, and administrator said “We’ve all witnessed the tragedy of school shootings over the years, and it is our worst nightmare.” Smith and other members of the team started vetting walk-through manual security screening options as an option, but for many reasons landed on Evolv. Through implementing Evolv Express, Spartanburg School District Six was able to achieve the following and more:

• Helped to complete average bagcheck in less than 20 seconds by pinpointing the potential area of the weapon in real-time.
• Helped to sustain always-on weapons detection and screening while reducing security queues.
• Helped to foster student safety with weapons detection and screening while aiming to get them to their classrooms on time.
