When Lori Alhadeff’s daughter, Alyssa, was tragically killed at Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018, she founded Make Our Schools Safe, dedicated to protecting students and teachers at school. Ms. Alhadeff founded the 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization with her husband of 17 years, Dr. Ilan Alhadeff, and became a school safety advocate. In 2018, she was elected to The School Board of Broward County, Florida and currently serves as District 4 Board Member. Lori and her husband have been integral part in pushing for bills that require panic alarms in New Jersey, Florida and New York. Alyssa’s Law, legislation named in honor of their 14-year-old daughter Alyssa Alhadeff, requires silent panic alarms in every public school building in New Jersey to alert police and rescuers to emergencies. Alyssa’s Law is gaining traction in other states across the country.
