10 things you can do to keep your kids safe
  • Invite local law enforcement into your school (offer coffee or a place to do paperwork)
  • Remove school calendars and floor plans from "public" areas of school websites
  • Watch and report any suspicious activities around your school
  • Install locks on all classroom doors
  • Drill kids on active shooters, what to do
  • Install buzzers on all entry doors
  • Verify who is requesting to use your school during "after school" hours
  • Have an armed SRO (Security Resource Officer) on premise
  • Make all visitors check in and wear badges at all times, report those who aren't
  • Encourage students to report anything that looks out of the ordinary

Threats (bullies, extremist, or active shooters) are relevant and real, we can no longer take for granted our schools are a safe haven for our kids. “Terror in American Schools: Are Your Kids Safe” is one mother’s quest to create a grassroots movement to “move the needle” on school security. Shocked by the horrific events during the 2004 Beslan, Russia school siege, and motived by the Russian special forces motto, “if not me, then who,” she has brought together a wide array of experts to provide insight regarding the threats against our schools, an understanding of where these threats stem from and why, and a call to action on to how prepare and, hopefully, prevent a tragedy from happening. The goal is to arm ALL on how to be more vigilant, becoming the first line of defense in protecting our kids, schools, community and ultimately our country.

It’s no longer an option to “let someone else worry,” it is time to engage, educate, and empower ourselves. As said by one of the experts, “If we’re ready for a Beslan, we’re ready for anything.”

"This was a very enlightening documentary with things that I can suggest to immediately begin securing my daughter's school as well as be more aware in general."
Karin Kennedy
Parent
"Before I watched the documentary, I thought as a school administrator, I was prepared for most school emergencies; however, now I realize the urgency to plan for a "terrorist act" that could occur at a school/schools in the United States in the foreseeable future."
Rick Stevens
School Administrator
"As a fan of documentaries I really enjoyed the piece. As a parent I was blown away and appreciate the information and visibility you have brought to this frightening topic."
Brad Hauter
"Schools have been among the most prolific terror targets around the world, and American schools have been targeted for intelligence gathering purposes by the very groups we are at war with. However, the federal government has established neither plans nor preparations for dealing with an attack such as Beslan in Russian, Ma'a lot in Israel or the thousands of schools that have now been attacked in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand and other nations, leaving it up to individual local law enforcement. This documentary will leave every American citizen with the information necessary to recognize the terror threats to our schools, and compel you to take steps to ensure your schools are ready."
John Giduck
President Archangel Group, Ltd
"Powerful and compelling, 'Terror in American Schools' should be seen by all educators and parents. This film deserves and demands our full attention"
Michael Sacopulos
"Powerful and right on the money, with one simple agenda - keeping American children safe from terror. Terror in American Schools is the best documentary I have ever seen on this subject. It is imperative as a nation that we protect the weakest among us - our children. 2 thumbs way up!"
