Case Study: Northbrook School District 28 keeps 80% of students in classrooms and avoids COVID-19 closures with CrisisGo Safety iPass

Keep 80% of Students in Classrooms with Safety iPass

Northbrook School District 28, a small K–8 district of four buildings serving about 1,800 students, faced the challenge of keeping students learning in person during the COVID-19 pandemic when roughly 80% of families opted for full-time classroom instruction. After a summer of trying a DIY approach, the district selected CrisisGo’s Safety iPass to manage daily health screening and certification for students.

CrisisGo’s Safety iPass sends daily emails to parents to certify their child’s health by 7:45, prompts administrators to follow up with uncertified families, and helps staff route students to nurses or social workers when needed. With CrisisGo’s solution the district has been able to track and report cases in real time, keep all four schools open with no closures from outbreaks, turn initial skeptics into supporters, and maintain confidence in school safety while 80% of students remain in classrooms.
