### 5/5 — Needed tool for schools

*2013-11-19, version 1.1.0*

School violence isn't something anyone likes to think is possible at their school. But if it does, this app lets teachers share info and photos of the incident when there is a threat at the school. I like the idea of local police also getting the info at the same time.

### 5/5 — Any Teachers Must Have App

*2013-11-19*

This app allows teachers to actually communicate during a "Lock Down" well done!!
