Tragic events across the country have shown us one undeniable truth: > **Seconds save lives.** That’s the driving force behind **Alyssa’s Law**, named in memory of Alyssa Alhadeff, a 14-year-old student who tragically lost her life in the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. The law calls for schools to install **silent panic alert systems** directly connected to law enforcement—streamlining response times and protecting lives when it matters most. --- ### What Alyssa’s Law Requires At its core, Alyssa’s Law is about ensuring schools can call for help instantly and discreetly. The law emphasizes: - **Real-time alerts** that connect directly with law enforcement - **Silent activation** to avoid escalating panic - **Integration with existing communication platforms** Several states—including New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and Utah—have already passed Alyssa’s Law, and momentum is growing nationwide. While California has not yet passed it, many districts are preparing now. --- ### How Verkada Supports Compliance and Safety **Verkada** provides a suite of modern security tools built for schools. With Verkada, districts can: - Send **silent panic alerts** directly to first responders - Provide **location tracking** so emergency crews know exactly where to go - **Integrate seamlessly** with existing infrastructure - Manage everything through **secure, cloud-based systems** By adopting Verkada, schools are not just preparing for Alyssa’s Law compliance—they are **building a safer learning environment today**. --- ### Why Act Now in California? Although Alyssa’s Law is not yet mandated in California, growing pressure suggests it’s only a matter of time. Proactive schools can get ahead by: 1. **Conducting risk assessments** of current emergency protocols 2. **Evaluating technology gaps** and identifying reliable solutions 3. **Leveraging procurement pathways** like CMAS, TIPS, and SPURR to streamline deployment > **Protecting students shouldn’t wait for legislation.** --- ### How Technology in Education (TIE) Can Help At **Technology in Education (TIE)**, we believe safety is the foundation for learning.
