Georgia School Safety Resources for District Security Leaders

Georgia House Bill 1023 did not pass. The $69,000 available annually per school through existing state safety grant funding did not change with it.

That funding can be applied to weapons detection technology today, without a mandate, without a deadline, and without waiting for a future legislative session to force the decision. Acting now allows districts to evaluate vendors carefully, pilot at a single campus before committing district-wide, and build the cross-functional stakeholder alignment that determines whether a deployment performs as intended.

We developed two practical resources for Georgia district security leaders who are ready to move from awareness to action.

 From Georgia School Safety Implementation Best Practices: A Project Management Guide for Georgia School District Security Leaders, you will find: 

• Cross-functional stakeholder frameworks covering every department with a role in implementation
• Technology selection guidance specific to Georgia school operational realities including device programs and compressed morning arrival windows
• Pilot program structure for validating configuration before district-wide deployment
• Budget planning guidance for maximizing state safety grant funding at $69,000 per school annually
• Staffing models covering the Guide, Pacer, and Divestor roles in a school screening operation
  

From Georgia School Safety Compliance: Choosing the Right Detection Technology, you will find:

• A personal belongings volume assessment for each campus entry point type
• An entrance-by-entrance analysis covering main student entrances, athletic facilities, and staff access points
• A decision framework for choosing between Xtract One Gateway and SmartGateway based on student population, device programs, and operational environment
• Implementation planning guidance for both products including site preparation, staffing considerations, and alignment with existing emergency operations protocols
