First Sign Language PA and Emergency Alert System EAS
In 2006 the first Sign Language Public Address and Emergency Alert System was installed at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, Boston Public Schools, under the leadership of Principal Jeremiah Ford.
Principal Ford had just completed an emergency warning system for the school where each room has a colored lighting system, red, blue, clear, and green, each color light relays a different massage to the deaf faculty and students. The light signal is turned on from a central location.

"I want to make a difference", principal Ford told Ron Liebermann of Signtel Inc. If the technology is available or can be built Principle Ford was committed to providing it for his school. Signtel Inc., in a strategic alliance with The Maricor Group New England, Inc. installed the first ever Sign Language Public Address and Emergency Alert System at the Boston Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
