A National Call to AI Leaders and Mission-Driven Funders
A National Call to AI Leaders and Mission-Driven FundersCreating a Safety Score for Every K–12 School in America
Introduction
School safety in the United States has never lacked concern — but it has lacked coordination.
Across more than 130,000 public and private K–12 schools, safety efforts remain fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to measure. Parents search for clarity. Schools struggle to prioritize improvements. Communities lack a shared, trusted framework for understanding risk and progress.
At Protecting Our Students, we exist to change that.
Our mission has always been clear: standardize school safety so every student, family, and educator benefits from clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Now, we are taking the next essential step.
From Standardization to National Visibility
Through years of research, fieldwork, and collaboration with educators and safety professionals, we have developed a standardized, measurable school safety framework:
- A multi-level assessment model
- Defined safety zones covering the entire campus experience
- Real-time scoring that turns observation into action
Standardization makes improvement possible.
But visibility makes transformation inevitable.
That is why we are creating SafeSchool MAP℠ — a national commercially viable platform designed to deliver a safety score for every K–12 school in the United States.
What Is SafeSchool MAP℠?
SafeSchool MAP℠ is being built as the public-facing safety layer of standardized school safety.
It will:
- Organize school safety data by school, district, and ZIP code
- Translate complex assessments into clear, understandable safety scores
- Reveal national and regional safety trends in real time
- Empower families, schools, and policymakers with transparent, actionable insight
This is not a ranking system.
This is not a one-time report.
It is a living national safety map — grounded in standardized methodology and designed for continuous improvement.
Why We Are Calling AI Leaders and Visionary Funders
Projects of this scale are not built quietly.
They require:
- Advanced AI and data leadership
- Ethical, mission-aligned technology design
- Long-term capital committed to public good
- Builders who understand that infrastructure shapes outcomes
We are inviting:
- AI leaders who can help translate complex safety data into clarity
- Data architects who believe transparency saves lives
- High-net-worth individuals and family offices seeking measurable, national impact
- Funders who understand that prevention is the most powerful form of protection
This is not about ownership of schools.
It is about ownership of responsibility.
Why This Matters Now
More than half of the U.S. population is directly connected to K–12 education — students, parents, caregivers, educators, and first responders.
Yet there is no shared way to answer a simple question:
How safe is a school — and is it improving?
SafeSchool MAP℠ is designed to answer that question responsibly, consistently, and nationally.
When safety is visible:
- Accountability follows
- Improvement accelerates
- Trust is restored
Our Role as Protecting Our Students
As a nonprofit, Protecting Our Students serves as the steward of the standard.
We protect:
- The integrity of the framework
- The ethics of the data
- The mission-first intent of the platform
SafeSchool MAP℠ exists to serve the public interest, not replace local leadership.
An Invitation to Build Something That Lasts
This is not a moment.
It is a movement toward national alignment.
Whether you are:
- An AI leader seeking purpose-driven impact
- A funding partner committed to scalable prevention
- A civic innovator who believes safety should be measurable
We invite you to help build the infrastructure that safer schools depend on.
