Case Study: Neosho School District saves student lives with GoGuardian Beacon

Neosho School District - Customer Case Study

The Neosho School District was facing a severe student mental health crisis, with a suicide rate nearly 30 times the national average. They had implemented various support programs but struggled to find an effective solution for proactively identifying at-risk older students. They turned to the vendor GoGuardian and its Beacon product to help address this critical challenge.

GoGuardian Beacon provided a proactive monitoring solution on school-issued devices, alerting staff to students searching for terms related to self-harm and suicide. This allowed the district to intervene much sooner than with traditional methods. The implementation by GoGuardian led to a dramatic decrease in high-risk cases, from nearly 50 down to fewer than 10 in three years, and provided the tools for multiple successful, lifesaving interventions.
