For too long, critical school safety data has been buried in spreadsheets and back offices. @alexsafeschools mission is to provide parents and educators the most up to date school safety data to reduce violence in schools across America. Honored to discuss our mission with Cory Randolph, Deputy Director of the @COPSOffice at the @JusticeDept. My team is working every day to ensure every parent can easily access the truth about school safety🇺🇸 Since that meeting, we’ve been heads-down making these tools faster, easier to use, and more accessible for families nationwide. On March 26th, I’m looking forward to getting together at the Diadem Complex and sharing an update on the progress we’ve made. Will I see you there? Whether you’re playing or coming to support the mission, your presence helps us keep pushing for accountability at the highest levels. Link to register safeschoolsforalex.org/pickleball/
