Annual Raptor CSP Training Helps PBT ISD Stay Reunification Ready
In this case study, we’ll review the challenges the district faced—and how Raptor worked with their team to overcome them.
“Safety and security have always been part of my thought process as a district administrator. Ensuring that we’re safe, prepared, and ready for any event at a school is essential. The Raptor CSP training allows us to practice as close to a real event as possible. Raptor’s Reunification workflow is very organized and ensures we get kids back with the right parent. I look forward to practicing reunification every year moving forward.” Brent Jaco, Superintendent of Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD
