Texas School District Buys 2 way radios with Homeland Security Grant

Recently Como-Pickton Consolidated Independent School District in northeast Texas received a $30,000 Homeland Security Grant to purchase 2 way radios for their schools. The district requested the grant to prepare for emergency situations. The 2 way radios will be used in classrooms, buses, the transportation office and the administration office.
A bus recently broke down in the Como-Pickton Consolidated Independent School District while completing a rural route where there was no cell phone service. These types of situations are helpless without drive-by motorists or 2 way radios because drivers are not allowed to leave students unattended; everyone on the bus must wait indefinitely for help. 2 way radios alleviate this problem because they only rely on battery life, which can last up to 12 hours per charge for the CLS1110, CLS1410, RDU2020 and RDU2080D.
Aside from emergency situations, 2 way radios can coordinate students boarding buses after school, manage school activities such as assemblies and field trips and easily resolve problems of misplaced students in the cafeteria or on the playground. 2 way radios provide instant communication and allow your schools to be more productive.
How is your school managing budget cuts? It may be a good idea to look into whether or not your school is illegible to receive a grant to purchase 2 way radios for your schools. If not, 2 way radios are an excellent trade-off to reduce unnecessary spending by increasing efficiency and utilizing the resources you have.
One of our most popular radios for schools is the Motorola RDU2020. This radio is ideal to cover 250,000 sq. ft., which may include the playground, student drop area, cafeteria, sports fields and auditorium, up to one or two miles. The RDU2020 is rugged and water resistant so it can endure spills and 5-foot drops on concrete. It also operates on 89 UHF Business Exclusive Frequencies and offers 122 Privacy Codes to keep your communication secure and confidential. Headsets are also available for hands-free communication.
