At the junior high level last year, two potential suicides were flagged by search terms, a kid was caught dispensing fentanyl when a peer searched 'how much fentanyl to take', and an early stage threat was detected when was looking up bomb-making instructions.

That's what I know about from my caseload.

Woah, what did the school use?

No idea. I just work there. Sometimes the computer goes ding and we call in people to haul off a kid. /s

Seriously though, from the teacher-side it is called Class Policy, but I don't think that is the system that monitors and flags.
