Alabama K-12 Capital Grant Program
Alabama legislators prioritized K-12 Alabama school safety solutions during the 2023 regular legislative session. The Alabama K-12 Capital Grant Program established $179 million as a source of funding for capital projects in schools across the state. Up to $5 million per grant, eligible projects included technology improvements and school safety enhancements. Federal funding is available for similar projects; several national programs provide the funds Alabama districts need to invest in new infrastructure, technology, equipment, and other Alabama school safety solutions.

Hear from Our Alabama Educators
We engage with teachers and staff every day to understand how CrisisAlert supports them, and here’s what they’ve shared:
As a school administrator for over 30 years and a superintendent for 8, I don’t know of a program that has brought me more peace of mind than the CrisisAlert system. We installed this program in all of our schools in the fall of 2023. Recently, while walking through a school, a young teacher stopped me and thanked me for having the system. She told me of a story where a student had a seizure in her class. She quickly utilized
the alert system and in less than a minute the administrative team and medical staff were at her door. Due to the quick response, the student was quickly stabilized and later made a full recovery at the hospital. As she relived this experience, she thanked me again for our district investing in this life saving system. I would never start a school year again without the CrisisAlert system.
Two students were arguing with a teacher. The students would not stop their disrespectful behavior or raising their voices and demanding to a teacher. I did not feel okay leaving the teacher to get my phone, so I pressed the badge. I was calm and was confident someone would arrive within a minute.

CrisisAlert Is in a Class of Its Own
We don’t just raise the bar. We built it.
CrisisAlert leads the industry in wearable panic button technology. As the most trusted, proven, and deployed solution on the market, it delivers unrivaled reliability, redundancy, notification, and response capabilities.
Unlike other wearable panic buttons, CrisisAlert activates a fully integrated emergency response and notification system, including flashing strobes, intercom announcements, and computer screen takeovers. It’s the only solution with 100% campus-wide coverage that immediately sends a digital map to first responders with precise location details, down to the exact floor and room, detailing every safety asset in proximity of the alert, to protect your staff wherever they are.
