# BESD- Extra Board Meeting - Sep 23, 2026

This BESD Extra Board Meeting held on September 23, 2026, focused primarily on the approval of a wearable panic device solution for the district's schools, as mandated by House Bill 84. The board discussed the procurement of these devices, which are funded by the state for the first three years, with the district responsible for sustaining funding thereafter. The devices, provided by Centegix, offer multi-tiered emergency notifications, including direct alerts to public safety dispatch and building administration, and integrate with existing school safety systems. The board approved the purchase and installation of these devices district-wide, with installation planned to be low impact and completed promptly after approval. The meeting concluded with a motion to move into closed session.
