Public, private, and university-level schools

Today's schools face real risks. Prepare your staff with data-driven insights, hands-on training, and confidence that can make a difference when it counts.

Active killer events are often the situations people think of when it comes to school safety and security. They are low-probability, high-consequence scenarios that warrant specific training. Schools and universities also face much more common problems, such as managing large-scale public events, medical emergencies, and mail-born threats. You need be prepared for both.

No matter the risks you face, we can help.  Risk Strategy Group uses a data-driven approach to create training based on real-world information. Your school is empowered by focusing on what matters: identifying your risks and mitigating them through preparedness.

These are independently operated public schools that have the freedom to design classrooms that meet their students’ needs. They operate under a contract (or “charter”) with a charter authorizer, such as the state or a local school board​.

Public school districts

Public school districts in Texas are defined as entities that provide public elementary and/or secondary education under the direction of a school board, a body elected by constituents or appointed by other government officials. These districts are responsible for the day-to-day administration and operation of public schools.

Public junior college districts

Typically, these districts encompass public community colleges and junior colleges that provide a range of academic and vocational courses and may offer lower-level undergraduate courses similar to those available at universities.

Private schools

A private school in Texas is defined as a school offering instruction for students in grades from prekindergarten through grade 12, and it is not operated by any governmental entity.
