For K–12 School and District Leaders
Alyssa's Law Compliance Kit: What Schools Need to Know (and Do) Now
Alyssa's Law is expanding across the country, and schools are under increasing pressure to ensure their emergency communication systems can support a faster, more coordinated response. This practical kit is designed to help school and district leaders understand what the law requires, identify gaps in current systems, and evaluate what it will take to comply.
Inside, you'll find a clear breakdown of Alyssa's Law requirements, a state-by-state view of where legislation stands, a compliance checklist that also incorporates Kari's Law and RAY BAUM'S Act, and tools to help evaluate vendors, secure internal buy-in, and choose the right long-term partner.
Compliance Pressure Is Rising—And Rushed Decisions Create New Gaps
Many schools are working to meet Alyssa's Law requirements while also navigating related emergency communication standards, including Kari's Law and RAY BAUM'S Act. At the same time, requirements vary by state, timelines can be short, and decisions made under pressure often lead to disconnected systems that create delays during an emergency.
This kit was built to help schools avoid that outcome by answering the questions that matter most:
- What does Alyssa’s Law actually require?
- Does our current system meet the standard?
- Are we also addressing direct 911 access and dispatchable location requirements?
- What should we look for in a vendor or partner?
- How do we build internal support to move forward?

What Leaders in School Safety Are Saying
“Alyssa didn’t know where to go. She was in the direct line of fire. The panic button wasn’t pushed—because it didn’t exist...Time equals life. Every second matters in an emergency.”
“During shootings, everyone is trying to call 911, and the 911 switchboard takes seconds to minutes to respond. The average school shooting takes six minutes or less, so those delays become a child’s or staff member’s life.”
“Navigate360 is really that simple: regardless of the emergency, the appropriate tools are right in the palm of your hand.”
