Necedah Schools, a K-12 district in central Wisconsin, needed a faster way to lock down its campus in an emergency. Its legacy PA system was audio-only and required staff to complete multiple manual steps before a message reached the whole campus—a real liability when industry standards set the critical response window at just 30 seconds.
The district replaced that process with Rise Vision digital signage integrated with Singlewire's InformaCast emergency alert system, turning its existing screens into a second channel for emergency communication. A single quick-click trigger now overrides regular signage content across every connected display, speaker, and classroom clock at once.
The result: Necedah cut its lockdown response time from 60 seconds to about 20 — a reduction of more than 50%, and well inside that critical 30-second window. See how Rise Vision and InformaCast worked together to modernize Necedah's emergency communications, and what other districts can take from the rollout.
