Presidio Independent School District in Texas has ordered a wireless video surveillance system from MDI.

The 1,500-student district will install the LearnSafe equipment in its administrative, elementary, and transportation facilities.

MDI's LearnSafe Initiative combines a security curriculum, continuing education programs, and a suite of technology and security services.

In late July Dallas County Schools had also signed a contract with MDI.
