Standardizing School Safety Nationwide — Using a Movie Production Model
Imagine school safety as a national film production.
A production impacting 50 million students and over 150 million parents, caregivers, and community members — nearly half of the U.S. population directly connected to K–12 education.
Every role matters.
Every scene counts.
Without a shared script, coordinated leadership, and consistent execution, the outcome is unpredictable.
Like a film production, school safety requires precise coordination. Each individual's contribution is vital to the overall success and safety of the entire community.
At Protecting Our Students, we are producing SafeSchool MAP℠, we've established the foundation for a national school safety standard. We've authored the research, built the framework, and created the infrastructure.
This is your comprehensive “Treatment” — based on our BluePrint℠ for creating safer schools everywhere.
Working Title:
SafeSchool MAP℠
A Safety Score for Every K–12 School Nationwide
The standardized framework for measuring, comparing, and improving school safety in America
SafeSchool|MAP℠ is the first national system designed to standardize school safety, delivering real-time safety scores, transparency, and accountability across every U.S. campus.
Built to unify fragmented safety efforts into one measurable national framework.
SafeSchool|MAP℠:
  • Maps school safety data by ZIP code, district, and state
  • Scores every campus using a standardized safety framework
  • Reveals strengths, gaps, and risk trends in real time
  • Empowers schools, families, and communities with clarity
Why It Matters
  • 50+ million students
  • 100+ million parents, caregivers, and educators
  • Half of the U.S. population connected to K–12
When school safety is standardized, America can finally see, measure, and improve it — together.
