It’s Time to Advocate.

America’s Safe Schools Week, 2026 – It’s Time to Advocate

To all our PASS Partners,

During School Safety week, it’s important that we share our mission and message with state and federal policymakers and the school safety organizations to offer education and information on the PASS organization. Our outreach, as shown in the Advocacy Letter, illustrates the important work that PASS does as advocates for improving the safety of our students and faculty.

K-12 schools around the nation are already using the PASS Safety and Security Guidelines to support risk assessments, inform security investments, strengthen grant applications, and establish baseline practices for securing school facilities. Read the Advocacy Letter below to learn other ways to spread the word even further about the proven benefits of using the PASS Guidelines in your state: 

Thank you for the ongoing support of PASS.    

With fortitude,
Chuck Wilson
Board Chairman
Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS)
