SchoolGuard SchoolGuard ® , developed by Guard911, is a smartphone app that provides a panic button for teachers and staff on their phone by immediately alerting nearby law enforcement through the Hero911 ® rapid-response network, while

simultaneously calling 911 with the touch of a single button. Guard911 is a sponsored program. There is a one- time only setup/activation fee with a monthly service fee thereafter which includes unlimited, approved users. The app is designed to protect K–12 schools against senseless acts of violence by shortening the police notification and subsequent response time.

WCSIT and ISDA (collectively WCSIT * ISDA) continuously strive to make coverage choices easier and more cost- effective for Illinois schools by offering extensive options. Additionally, WCSIT * ISDA has a dedicated staff with years of experience serving schools and providing loss control services to help reduce potential risks and claims.
