In the wake of a tragic school shooting that struck a school with the same name as the one attended by his own children, the founder of ProtectED experienced a profound 'shock to the system'. Although the incident was miles away and did not directly affect his kids, it ignited a realization: school safety is not just a priority; it is paramount. In that moment, he understood that every school needs a robust safety plan - not just fragments of one.
Determined to create a secure learning environment for children, he founded ProtectED, combining his military experience with emergency response expertise to craft a comprehensive safety program tailored specifically for private faith-based K-12 schools. The founder had spent eight years designing protection plans for military installations, ensuring communities were well-prepared for emergencies. This had equipped him with both the knowledge and the passion to tackle the often-overlooked challenges of school safety.
At ProtectED, we recognize that many schools operate without clear plans for lockdowns, evacuations, and reunifications with parents. Teachers often lack the training needed to respond confidently during emergencies, leaving administrators with only hope as their guiding light. This painful reality, too common in education, is exactly what ProtectED aims to change.
By offering a 'done-for-you' safety management plan, ProtectED simplifies the process for school principals. Our solution includes comprehensive training, materials, and a clear, actionable plan that ensures staff knows exactly what to do in a crisis. Schools no longer need to navigate this complex landscape alone. For less than the cost of a part-time staff member, they can achieve a comprehensive safety program that leads to peace of mind for staff, parents, and the board.
The success stories are heartening. School leaders report feeling reassured, empowered, and confident in their ability to handle emergencies, knowing they have a solid plan alongside them. ProtectED provides a unique partnership, maintaining your emergency program for a flat monthly fee, making us the only safety partner schools will ever need.
The importance of children’s safety has never been clearer. Bad things can happen in this world, but they don’t have to happen on our watch. Join ProtectED today and ensure your school is prepared for anything.
