Dr. Shoieb, the Superintendent of Rahway Public Schools, emphasized the importance of student safety, stating, "Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our staff, students, and families. With Evolv, we are able to screen students efficiently without compromising their sense of security or disrupting their day."
