Case Study: Hays Consolidated Independent School District prevents violence and supports at-risk students with Lightspeed Alert

Hays Consolidated Independent School District identifies 332 high risks in 9 months with Lightspeed Systems

Hays Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) faced the challenge of identifying students experiencing mental health issues in an increasingly digital learning environment. Their previous methods, which relied on staff observation and an anonymous tip line, left gaps in their ability to proactively support online student safety. To address this, the district turned to Lightspeed Systems and implemented its Lightspeed Alert student safety monitoring solution.

By deploying Lightspeed Alert, the district gained comprehensive visibility into student online activity, allowing for early identification of at-risk behaviors. The solution from Lightspeed Systems provided critical results, including identifying two students at risk of suicide and preventing three instances of violence within weeks. Over nine months, the tool flagged 332 high-risk and 16 imminent threats, leading the district to hire additional mental health personnel based on the hard data collected.
