Most districts don't find out their safety program has gaps until after an incident, an audit, or a lawsuit. RSG works with K-12 districts, charter schools, and higher education institutions to close those gaps before that happens. TXSSC-registered. Audit-ready.
School safety is not a single event. It is an ongoing compliance obligation. RSG handles the work from initial audit through ongoing operations so your district stays covered.
We conduct the full TXSSC-compliant safety audit your district is required to complete, write the report, and walk you through submission. Every finding is documented and prioritized so you know exactly where you stand.
How audits workFor districts without a dedicated safety director, RSG handles the ongoing compliance work — drills, EOPs, annexes, SENTINEL inputs — on a monthly retainer built around your calendar.
See what's includedWe perform your security assessment, write the Investment Justification, and submit your FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant application. In states where you must submit directly, we build everything and walk you through the process.
How the grant process worksEntry control, perimeter hardening, surveillance coverage, egress planning. We walk your facility, find the exposures, and give you a prioritized action plan. Not a generic checklist.
Assessment detailsTexas DPS-certified school safety training for staff authorized to carry on campus. We are certified instructors for the full Guardian program. If your staff don't have an LTC yet, we offer that as part of the package.
Training detailsRSG guides districts through the entire process of establishing a fully TCOLE-certified campus police department: recruiting and screening the chief, writing all policies, and navigating the complete TCOLE application.
How it worksA full-time Director of Safety and Security runs $90,000 to $120,000 a year before benefits. Most small and mid-size districts can't justify that line item. So the role goes unfilled, the work doesn't get done, and the liability piles up quietly.
RSG's fractional director model gives you a credentialed professional on a monthly retainer. Someone who knows your campus, knows your staff, and knows your compliance requirements — actively managing the program month to month.
Annual retainer available at a discount for districts that want consistent calendar planning.

Districts that already have a safety director use RSG for campus audits, staff training, and EOP development. Contact us to discuss the right scope for your situation.
What RSG handles as your fractional director
The FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is available to eligible nonprofit organizations, including private schools and faith-based institutions. RSG manages the entire process from initial assessment through grant submission. If your school or organization qualifies, this program can fund the security improvements you need without drawing from your operating budget.
We conduct a full physical security assessment of your facility. This produces the documented findings that drive your grant application. No assessment, no fundable IJ.
We write the formal assessment report with prioritized vulnerabilities. This is the evidence base for everything that follows in the application.
We write the IJ, the core document of your NSGP application. It ties your specific vulnerabilities to the requested funding in language that meets FEMA's review criteria.
In states where RSG can submit directly, we handle it. Where you must submit, we build everything and walk you through the process step by step so nothing gets missed.
The grant covers the security improvements. The assessment and IJ writing is RSG's engagement. When the grant is awarded, the security upgrades are funded, meaning eligible organizations can address their vulnerabilities at little to no out-of-pocket cost. Talk to us early in your planning cycle. NSGP has application windows that require lead time, and the IJ needs to be built on a completed assessment.
Under Texas law, your district can authorize staff to carry a concealed handgun on campus. That authorization requires a specific certification: the Texas DPS School Safety Certification, commonly called Guardian Training.
RSG is a certified instructor for this program. We run the two-day DPS certification course for staff completing the standard curriculum, and the full four-day Guardian program for those who need to meet the higher standard. Pass requirements are rigorous: 90% on both the written exam and the live-fire qualification. This is not a basic firearms class.
Not every staff member has a License to Carry before entering the program. We handle that. If your candidates need their LTC first, RSG includes that training as part of the package so there is no gap in the pipeline.
Armed staff are a force multiplier, not a replacement for other security measures. Guardian Training works best as part of a layered program that includes physical security improvements, EOPs, and regular drills. RSG can build that full program for your district.
Valid Texas License to Carry (LTC). If candidates don't have one, RSG offers LTC training as part of the package. No need to source a separate instructor.
Texas DPS-approved instruction covering defensive tactics, legal authority, scenario-based force-on-force training with airsoft, written exam, and live-fire qualification.
Extended curriculum for districts requiring the full program. Includes advanced CQB, ALERRT-based active threat response, and dynamic force-on-force scenarios beyond the DPS baseline.
90% on the written exam. 90% on the handgun qualification course of fire. These are state-mandated minimums. RSG prepares candidates to meet them, not just attempt them.
Teachers, administrators, maintenance staff, office personnel, board members, and any school employee authorized by the district. Candidates must have solid foundational handgun skills before entering the certification course.
Certified Guardian staff on record with Texas DPS, documentation for your compliance files, and a trained internal response capability that doesn't depend on response time.
Texas Senate Bill 11 requires school districts to conduct safety and security audits using a TXSSC-registered consultant. That's not optional and it's not a formality.
If your district uses a consultant who isn't on the TXSSC registry, the audit doesn't count. You've spent the money, done the work, and you're still out of compliance. That means you are still exposed.
RSG is listed on the TXSSC consultant registry. Before you hire anyone to conduct your district's audit, verify their registry status. We can help you understand what a compliant audit process looks like and what documentation your district needs to retain.
Physical security, access control, surveillance systems, emergency response plans, training status, lockdown procedures, and staff preparedness. Every campus in your district is evaluated against TXSSC standards.
A written audit report with all findings documented and prioritized by risk level. Recommendations are specific to your facility. Not a generic checklist. Your district retains this for compliance and liability documentation.
RSG walks your leadership team through the findings. For districts that want ongoing support, the audit findings can feed directly into a fractional director engagement or a grant application.
K-12 school districts, charter schools, and higher education institutions across Texas. Each engagement is scoped to the size and complexity of your district.
From single-campus rural districts to multi-campus urban systems. TXSSC audit compliance, fractional director services, EOPs, SENTINEL, and grant support scoped to match your district's size and budget.
Charter schools face the same safety compliance obligations as traditional districts, often with fewer internal resources to meet them. RSG handles the compliance work so your leadership team can stay focused on operations.
Colleges and university campuses with complex physical layouts, large populations, and unique threat environments. Physical security assessments, emergency planning, and security team development for larger institutions.
Independent and faith-based schools that want the same rigor as a public district without the bureaucratic timeline. RSG works directly with your administration to assess risk, build response plans, and train your staff.
Whether you need an audit, an ongoing safety director, grant support, or all three, RSG scopes the engagement to what you actually need.
