K-12 Education Safety
The Aegix Platform gives educators and first responders the tools to communicate instantly, manage incidents in real time, and keep every student accounted for — from a single app.
Platform Features for Schools
Everything educators and first responders need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies
Wearable Panic Button
A highly accessible, programmable device worn on wrist, lanyard, or lapel. One press activates the full Aegix emergency suite — alerting law enforcement, administrators, and staff instantly. Required by Utah law (H.B. 84) in every classroom.
Interactive Floor Plans
Live digital floor plans and campus maps display every room name and number. Responders get an accurate overview of the entire site without searching for paper floor plans during an emergency.
One-Touch Lockdown
Principals and administrators can lock down the entire school with a single button press. Every user on the system instantly sees the lockdown status and hears an alarm on their device.

Spanish Fork High School — Swatting Hoax Response
How the Aegix Platform calmed the chaos during a coordinated active shooter hoax targeting Utah schools.
The Incident
On March 29, 2023, the Spanish Fork Police Department received a call reporting an active shooter at Spanish Fork High School with two students allegedly deceased. The school was the victim of a coordinated "swatting" hoax targeting schools across Utah and other states.
Just one week earlier, the school had completed its rollout and staff training on the Aegix Platform — a decision that proved critical in the minutes that followed.
The Response
When police arrived, Principal Matt Christensen pulled his phone from his pocket and hit "lockdown." Instantly, every user on the system heard an alarm and saw the school was in lockdown. Teachers pressed a button to report their classroom as safe or unsafe — each room lighting up green or red on the interactive map.
Students were scattered across classrooms, offices, stairwells, and bathrooms. Teachers and administrators communicated through the platform to account for every person on campus. After 24 tense minutes, Lt. Cory Slaymaker of the Spanish Fork Police Department sent a message through the app confirming the threat was a hoax.
"Teachers were able to show their phones to students and say, 'This is what's real, and this is what's happening' — calming them in an extremely high-stress situation."
