According to Open AI (ChatGPT 4.0), roughly 62.1 million people, or about 18.2% of all U.S. residents, are actively part of the K–12 educational ecosystem. This includes students, teachers, and non-teaching staff.

Safety of students, teachers, non-teaching staff, and premises is of paramount importance.

On June 11, 2025, NeXTnet demonstrated how its Agentic AI powered technology solution autonomously undertakes the critical task of keeping students, teachers, staff, and premises safe.

When safety violations (e.g. unauthorized vehicles, unauthorized personnel, detection of bad- actors present on the premises) occur, NeXTnet’s ANNA (Agentic NeXTnet Administrator) kicks into gear, bringing together a number of disparate systems (e.g. cameras, electronic door locks, public safety databases, etc.) and autonomously takes informed actions such as alerting campus security personnel, the school’s Principal/Vice Principal, EMS, and law enforcement, according to policies established and controlled by the school.

Some of the benefits of NeXTnet’s offering are:

  • Enhanced safety of people and premises.

  • Faster response time to incidents.

  • Fewer errors.

  • Considerably lower cost than conventional methods.

  • Infrastructure that is extremely secure from digital attacks.

  • Infrastructure that never goes obsolete, as there is an option to automatically refresh it at no extra cost to the school.

The ANNA powered solution is delivered to schools as a fully managed service, backed by a strict Service Level Agreement or SLA.

If your school, for example, has a combined strength of 500 students, teachers, and non-teaching staff, it would cost the school as little as $2 per day per student/teacher/staff. That is less than the price of a cup of drip coffee.

There is so much happening around us, and we respectfully believe that enhancing the safety of our next generation, educators (including support staff), and institutions of learning is essential.
