Protected Schools exists to simply protect schools. Our desire is to help ensure kids of all ages can get the education they need while maintaining a safe environment. While state legislation can notoriously move really slowly, Protected Schools strives to move quickly, efficiently and safely in partnership with private and public school boards to respond to the growing threats of school violence. Whether you're a board member, principal, head of school, or parent, we would love to come alongside you and your community to build safer schools to ensure a better tomorrow.
There are approximately 7,000 private schools throughout the United States. It is our mission to provide industry-leading security for every private school in the United States by the year 2030. We plan to do this with board, school and parent partnerships as well as private donors.
Protected Schools is willing to partner with any individual school or district. While state legislators have been arguing for years about the best way to protect kids in schools, kids keep dying due to senseless violence. Protected Schools is ready to move forward with a solid, safe strategy to help schools that have the capability of independently making decisions without needing state approval.
We partner with schools, parents, and private donors to help provide free armed guards and other security measures for schools.
We employ the following 3-part strategy in our mission to protect schools.
A major problem with schools hiring their own security guards is lack of initial and/or ongoing training. We train our guards with industry-leading security tactics and measures. Each guard goes through an extensive background and mental health check to ensure they are fit for duty.
As soon as we have funding and board approval, we will deploy an armed guard as quickly as possible to any school that has been approved in the application process.
We are currently seeking two types of applications: schools and armed guards. If you are a school principal, head of school, board member, or other authorized representative, we encourage you to apply. If you are hoping to volunteer and/or gain employment as an armed guard, you may apply with a separate application below.
Protected Schools is a 501c3 non-profit organization (application pending). All donations are tax-deductible. You may designate your donation to a specific school if you prefer, but we cannot guarantee that your desired school's administration will authorize a partnership with Protected Schools. In the event that your school's administration does not choose to partner with Protected Schools, we will utilize your donation to help protect kids in other schools.
