With the partnership of safety and technology more important than ever, we offer you this "Double Scoop", a previous episode that still contains some key, relevant information!

This podcast episode explains the significant advancements in student safety within Cobb Schools, facilitated by the innovative applications developed by our coding staff. We delve into the intricate workings of these custom applications, such as the Go Safe system, which enhances the accountability and efficiency of student dismissal processes. Our guest, Mr. Ryan Pynes, the Director of Information Systems, expounds upon the critical role of information systems in safeguarding student data and ensuring seamless communication during field trips. Furthermore, we explore the efficacy of a red, yellow, green alert system designed to monitor student progress towards graduation, thereby preemptively addressing potential academic challenges. Through this discourse, we aim to illuminate the profound impact of technology on fostering a secure and conducive educational environment for our students.
