New Leadership, Enduring Commitment
After leading Securly for 12 years, co-founder Bharath Madhusudan handed the CEO reins to Tammy Wincup in October 2024. With nearly three decades of experience working alongside school administrators and educators, Tammy’s vision for Securly extends beyond student safety, encompassing a deeper, customer-centric commitment to supporting student wellness so the entire school community—students, teachers, administrators, and parents—can thrive.
Helping Students in Crisis: Real Stories of the Impact Schools Are Making
Throughout 2024, we’ve been inspired by countless examples of educators, technology teams, and student services staff who work directly with students every day. Customer stories like the ones shared by Sheboygan Area School District and Atlanta Public Schools reinforce the importance of the work they do and keep us singularly focused on how we can support them.
Harnessing AI in Education to Fill Critical Gaps in 2024 and Beyond
While there’s no substitute for human resources when it comes to supporting students, there is no hiding from the fact that these resources are in short supply. Yet, while the resources to support students are dwindling, the concerns around student mental health are not. As school leaders continue to grapple with this challenge, artificial intelligence (AI) within the edtech space has provided schools a real opportunity at some relief, both in the short- and long term.
Learning Together: The Back-to-School Securly Shield Event
This year’s back-to-school Securly Shield event brought together hundreds of K-12 leaders. With over 250 live attendees and 670 on-demand viewers, the event featured insights from Securly leadership, as well as real-world stories from educators like Dr. Chantell Manahan, MSD of Steuben County, Indiana, and Eric Benedict, Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin.
Supporting Schools While Prioritizing Student Privacy
Technology tools have become a mainstay in classrooms, helping administrators, educators, and technologists manage a range of tasks. However, because of the vast amounts and types of data these tools collect about students, prioritizing data security and student data privacy has never been more critical. It’s a challenge that we help education leaders navigate every day, and one we take very seriously.
