Mayday Security Solutions Featured For Its Innovative Approach To Enhancing School Safety

The feature story for WXYZ Detroit highlighted LifeShield+ as well as Mayday’s innovative approach to securing funding for school safety.

CHARLESTON, SC, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mayday Security Solutions had the pleasure of partaking in an interview with WXYZ-TV in Detroit, Michigan, to help shed light on our innovative solution for creating safer school environments, LifeShield+.

In the interview, our founder Marianne Cowell, and CEO Ryan Cowell underscored Mayday’s experience implementing LifeShield+, citing successful projects in California and Florida. With a focus on enhancing safety measures in educational environments, Mayday highlighted the potential application of LifeShield+ in Michigan and across the country.

“Ensuring the safety of students and staff is paramount, and we believe that LifeShield+ offers an effective solution to mitigate potential threats and create safer learning environments” stated founder Marianne Cowell. “We appreciate Channel 7 News giving us the chance to share our mission and spread the word about our current efforts.”

One of the key highlights of the interview was the accessibility of LifeShield+ to Michigan school districts, particularly in light of the availability of COVID funds. Over $1 billion of ESSER III funds remain unspent and are set to expire in September of this year if unused. LifeShield+ qualifies as an eligible expense, and at an average cost of $15-$20 per student, can easily be covered by schools holding some of these excess funds. This situation is not exclusive to Michigan though as every state has a significant amount of remaining funds.

“By leveraging these unspent ESSER funds, school districts have a unique opportunity to invest in proactive measures that enhance safety and security without dipping into their budget,” said Cowell. “As a parent, if I found out that my child’s school had money that could’ve been spent on ballistic protection but they let it expire, I would be outraged.”

Mayday has completed multiple sales in both California and Florida using leftover COVID funds and anticipates more will follow as the September “use-it-or-lose-it” deadline approaches. While annual school safety grant programs as seen in North Carolina and various other states seem promising, $25-30 million once divided up among thousands of schools is a drop in the bucket compared to the swimming pool of ESSER III money floating around.

LifeShield+ has undergone rigorous testing by multiple third-party security professionals, demonstrating its efficacy in providing UL752 level 3 protection. This level of protection is essential in safeguarding against various ballistic threats, thereby offering peace of mind to school administrators, teachers, students, and parents alike.
