Private School Unifies Visitor, Volunteer, and Emergency Management
Security Operations Split Across Departments
At St. Agnes Academy, campus security was split between different departments and different systems: a one-person HR department handled volunteer background checks, the Dean of Students managed safety drills, and emergency attendance operated via one teacher’s custom-built system. Leadership wanted to bring visitor, volunteer, and emergency management together onto one integrated platform that everyone could learn and use.
How Raptor Connected Campus Safety
Building on the foundation of Raptor VisitorSafe™, St. Agnes added Raptor VolunteerSafe™ and Raptor Emergency Management Software. Raptor’s implementation specialists helped the staff at St. Agnes configured each system for their unique private school needs, including
- custom volunteer categories that show training and background check status by role
- nightly Blackbaud data syncs through Clever to keep student and staff records current
- one policy across the system to define volunteers, short-term guests, and those needing higher screening
- a connected system for drills and accountability records that they could manage
School Safety Without Bottlenecks
Coordinators now check volunteer compliance without waiting on HR, and emergency accountability no longer depends on one person. Staff manage visitor, volunteer, and emergency management from a single dashboard, and parents understand the policies behind it.
“Everybody’s on the same page,” says Raymond.
