Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc., recognized for its innovative AI-driven security offerings, has partnered with Rahway Public Schools in New Jersey to bolster campus safety.
The educational district has implemented Evolv Express® and Evolv eXpedite™ systems at the gymnasium and performing arts entrances, enhancing security measures while allowing students to keep laptops in their bags during screenings.
Prioritizing Safety in Education
Superintendent Dr. Shoieb emphasized the district's dedication to security, stating, “Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our staff, students, and families. With Evolv, we are able to screen students efficiently without compromising their sense of security or disrupting their day. We’re proud to be the first school district in New Jersey to implement the eXpedite solution in combination with Express to help detect threats without putting an excess burden on our staff.”
The adoption of Evolv's technology marks Rahway Public Schools as a pioneering district in the state.
Advancing School Security Strategies
Dean Marcantonio, Director of Safety and Security for Rahway Public Schools, also highlighted the importance of this new initiative: “This partnership reflects Rahway’s proactive commitment to student safety. The integration of Evolv’s systems is a game-changer for how we think about securing our schools.” This move showcases the district's strategic efforts to employ cutting-edge solutions for improved security.
Commitment to Layered Safety Plans
The deployment is part of a larger trend, as Evolv’s systems have been progressively incorporated into safety plans by numerous institutions since the launch of Evolv eXpedite in September 2024. CEO John Kedzierski commented, “We are honored to support Rahway Public Schools in their commitment to student safety. Since Evolv eXpedite’s launch in September 2024, we have seen momentum among customers who have begun to add the system into their layered safety plan. Rahway is setting the standard for how schools can use innovative technology to provide an efficient and welcoming environment for learning.”
This integration places Rahway Public Schools among over 1,100 school buildings across the nation employing Evolv’s advanced security technology. Evolv remains dedicated to empowering educational institutions with swift, intelligent, and efficient safety solutions to nurture secure and welcoming learning environments.
