Ringgold Approves Digital Hall Pass System

Ringgold School District’s Board of Directors approved a contract for digital hall passes in their high school with a vote of 7-2. The hall pass system is from a contract with San Jose based student safety system Securly, for the 2023-2024 school year. Ringgold High School Principal Greg Sarracenia was impressed with the system’s usage with the middle school after coming to Ringgold this past February. “It was something that I could embrace,” said Saracenia. “Our teachers know how many times that student has already been out of out of class throughout the course of the day. So, it allows us to really have that opportunity to monitor students.” The system is primarily for in-school truancy, but also to monitor possible medical issues with the students.
