Too many school safety technology decisions are made under pressure—after a tragedy, during a funding window, or in response to persuasive vendor claims. In those moments, it’s easy to confuse action with effectiveness.
That’s why I developed the School Safety Product and Technology Decision Checklist—an independent due-diligence resource to help boards, superintendents, and district leaders slow the process down and ask better questions before buying, piloting, or renewing safety products and technology.
This checklist is:
• A starting point for disciplined decision-making
• A tool to separate marketing from operational reality
• A way to document reasonable, good-faith due diligence
It is not anti-technology, not vendor-driven, not exhaustive, and not a legal or industry standard. Every school and district is different, and technology should support people—not replace supervision, judgment, and leadership.
