Top Evolv School Customer Eliminating Students' Metal Ring Binders

Published Apr 18, 2024 13:24 PM

While Evolv often uses customers to market their products (see "Charitable" Evolv Secretly Requires School To Market Evolv), last week's ISC West presentation disclosed an important change.

In this report, we examine the changes CMS needed to manage Evolv's false alarms and how they represent the difficulties that Evolv's school customers experience.

No 3 ring or spiral notebook. Good luck. Maybe the parents will be happy since there are not many options now. Easier school shopping - just buy 1 subject non-spiral notebooks.

Funny that CMS calls them trapper keeper binders. I doubt any kid in school has any idea what a trapper keeper is.

School security consultant Ken Trump shared this post on LinkedIn, with an interesting comment being shared:

It does raise an interesting question about what the responsibility is for the people that buy such systems. It's quite the backtrack to spend all that money and now decide you need to start banning school supplies to deal with the system's errors.
