School safety equipment upgrades often face budget delays because initial urgency following tragedies like Newtown or Columbine fades, leading to proposals being shelved due to budget constraints. On far too regular a basis, something heart-breaking will occur at a school, and for the next few weeks following the disaster, school boards across the nation push their school staff to get proposals for emergency equipment upgrades. So, the principals or other staff meet with vendors and gather proposals for making their schools safer. But then the buzz dies down a bit, the urgency fades. And when the proposals are reviewed (if they are reviewed at all) then the staff are told “it doesn’t fit into the budget, right now.” We hope that all schools nationwide have the proper safeguards in place to handle any emergency or crisis. But if you have doubts or are not sure your current budget will allow for new safety communications equipment, just give Discount Two-Way Radio a call at 866-986-2321 and we will help you create a safer, more secure campus today. No budget is too small when it comes to the safety of every student!
