AtlasIED Announces University-Level Sponsorship of Make Our Schools Safe

  • July 01, 2025

AtlasIED, a recognized leader in commercial audio and security solutions, is proud to announce its University-level sponsorship of Make Our Schools Safe (MOSS), a 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting students and staff through education, training, and empowerment.

MOSS was founded by Lori Alhadeff in memory of her daughter Alyssa, who tragically lost her life in the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The organization is dedicated to implementing proactive safety measures in schools nationwide. The organization played a key role in the creation of Alyssa’s Law, which mandates the installation of silent panic alarms to enhance emergency response during school incidents.

AtlasIED’s contribution at the University level represents a deep alignment with the company's mission to develop technology that safeguards and informs. AtlasIED continues to prioritize innovations that aim to help prevent or mitigate tragedies in educational environments.

“Our support of Make Our Schools Safe is a direct extension of our company’s purpose,” said John Ivey, CEO of AtlasIED. “We believe that technology, when thoughtfully applied, can play a critical role in protecting students, teachers, and staff. This partnership helps to ensure that more schools have access to life-saving tools and training.”

AtlasIED’s University-level donation will provide crucial funding to help MOSS broaden its reach, grow its programs, and continue advocating for meaningful changes in school safety practices nationwide.
