May 27, 2008, 12:46pm (report abuse)I do not support this bill. I do not support taking more funding away from services used for teaching (e-rate eligible services) and giving it to something that does not appear to improve student safety. Emergency notification is primarily after the event has occured.

November 20, 2008, 11:34am (report abuse)Thanks for the great post. Disclosure: I work for an emergency notification company. We strongly believe that emergency notification services DO in fact improve student safety, and there are documented cases where lives have been saved using the services. When it comes to student safety, we shoulad not hold back funding.
