America's National Standard
for K–12 School Safety.
Protecting Our Students, Inc. (POSI) built the first standardized framework for measuring and scoring school safety in America — the 4-Level Safety Standard℠, the 94-Point Safety Zones℠, and the Dynamic Safety Score℠. Every K–12 school in the country can now be assessed, scored, and improved against a single national standard.
Zero Shared Standard.
The U.S. spends billions annually on K–12 school safety. Yet no standardized measurement framework exists. Every school approaches safety differently — measured inconsistently, managed reactively, and understood subjectively. What can't be measured can't be improved.
"There is no trusted source of truth for school safety in America — and that void creates systemic risk for 50 million students."

Access real-time Dynamic Safety Scores℠ and POSI 4-Level Safety Standard audits for 131,284 schools across the United States.
Every School. Every Zone.
Protecting Our Students, Inc. established the first national standard for measuring K–12 school safety — built on three interconnected components that together create a complete, auditable, and continuously improving safety record for every school.
The POSI Standard is developed by Protecting Our Students, Inc. and delivered at scale through SafeSchoolMAP.℠
SafeSchoolMAP℠ is the commercial platform being built to deliver verified safety scores for all 130,000+ U.S. K–12 schools — grounded in the POSI framework and currently in active development. Learn more at safeschoolmap.org →
Not Just a Checklist.
Every POSI assessment follows one repeatable cycle: Assess → Score → Improve → Reassess. Four concrete steps that turn school safety from a static document into a living, continuously improving system.
Private by Default. Public Only When You Choose.
Your Dynamic Safety Score℠ and SafeSchool REPORT℠ are visible only to your team during the improvement process. No public exposure of gaps. No media risk. When you're ready — and only if you choose — opt in to display a verified safety badge that builds trust with families and your community.
