A new application for smartphones has been developed to combat safety issues for students. Local business Bitsource has created the “Lend a Hand, Take a Stand” app that Pikeville High School’s Principal Jason Booher states that they are implementing at their school. Booher says that this app can be used at any time of the day to report information about weapons, drugs, bullying, and vaping. He also mentions that the app is also linked to the City Police so they can be aware of any situation going on.
