Virtually every district suffers from the same challenges that keep administrators up a night including:
- feeling insecure that their buildings were truly safe
- not knowing if they were doing enough and were truly capable of managing a serious critical incident
-
how to appropriately train and prepare your staff to respond in the event of an emergency
There is a wealth of information available on the internet or from local cooperatives and some of it is quite good. But as a K-12 administrator, you face tremendous time and workload challenges and simply don’t have the time and expertise to continually manage an effective Safety, Security & Emergency Management Program in your schools.
But how can you make this happen?
You don’t. We do.

- Help you prioritize and put those changes into place
You’ll be paired with a member of our team, who will evaluate each of your school buildings, security systems, and emergency plans from top to bottom. We will provide you with a confidential improvement opportunities report covering buildings, procedures, technology and much more. Improvement opportunities are prioritized and developed into short and long-term implementation plans.
