Keeping Texas Schools Safe
Meet Texas School Safety Mandates While Reducing Cost and Vendor Complexity
Multiple Dimensions of School Safety
Raptor Technologies® gives schools the platform, products, and partnership to manage school safety as one connected system — built for the realities of the school day. With a consistent interface across products, staff learn one system and rely on it with confidence, whether they’re checking in a visitor or managing an emergency response.

One System, Used With Confidence
Whether someone is a student, staff member, visitor, or volunteer, every Raptor product recognizes them as the same person across the platform. The right information is already there when it’s needed, through check-in, emergency response, wellbeing support, and compliance.
Schools manage one vendor relationship, one contract, and a platform designed to grow with their needs, and every product added to the Raptor platform reduces the cost and complexity of managing safety.
Four Texas Initiatives Every District Should Know
Meet and Exceed Alyssa's Law Compliance
Alyssa's Law (Senate Bill 838) requires school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to provide silent panic alert technology in every classroom, beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, for immediate contact with law enforcement, emergency services, health departments, and fire departments. Raptor Alerting Technology automatically sends critical incident details to administrators and first responders, supporting faster, more coordinated emergency response.

TAC §61.1031 requires exterior school doors to remain closed, latched, and locked during the school day, with weekly inspections. Raptor SmartAudit allows staff to scan a door with an NFC tag and record the door's status as Locked, Unlocked, Propped Open, or Damaged through the Raptor Staff app. The check is digitally saved, and if there's an issue, an alert goes out immediately.
