GSFT School Safety Certification

Texas school safety & security consulting — registered under TEC §37.2091

Some safety needs fit a named service; others need a practitioner across the table. We consult for Texas districts, charter schools, junior colleges, and private schools on the full arc of school safety — audits, emergency planning, facility security, and armed-personnel programs — with the credentials the law requires and the ones it doesn’t but should.

Listed on the Texas School Safety and Security Consultant Registry, as required by Texas Education Code §37.2091.
Verify our listing on the official registry → Registry listing is verified registration under state law — it is not a state endorsement.

Why the registry matters to you — not just to us

Texas Education Code §37.2091 defines school safety or security consulting broadly: advice, information, recommendations, data collection, or audit services — paid or unpaid. Anyone providing those services in Texas must be on the TxSSC Consultant Registry, and §37.2091(b-1) puts a duty on you: a district must confirm a person is listed before engaging them. So make the registry check your first vetting step for any consultant — it takes two minutes at registry.txssc.txstate.edu, and a consultant who isn’t listed isn’t one you can lawfully engage.

What we consult on

Safety & security audits

The three-year TEC §37.108 audit on the official TxSSC instrument suite, plus §37.1087 security reviews for new and renovated facilities.

Audit services →

Emergency operations plans

Multihazard EOP development and review under TEC §37.108(a) — including the six-phase structure and 2025 requirements districts are being measured against now.

EOP support →

Armed-personnel program advisory

Guardian program design, board policy structure, selection standards, and HB 3 posture documentation — from first board conversation to standing program.

Implementation roadmap →

Physical security assessments

Facility-focused reviews — access control, entry hardening, communications — for districts that want an assessment outside the statutory audit cycle.

How engagements run

Consulting engagements are scoped like our audits: a written scope with named deliverables before work begins, practitioners identified by name, and findings documented so they survive leadership transitions. Sensitive material is handled the way audit law demands — access-restricted, never collected through public forms, and never used as marketing material.

Who does the work matters as much as the scope. Meet the practitioners — every credential we claim is published and verifiable.

Start with a conversation

Describe the problem in your own words — compliance question, facility concern, program decision — and we will scope the right engagement.

We respond to every inquiry the same business day in most cases.
