Colorado Schools Can't Afford a Coverage Gap.
One tap. Room-level location. Works when Wi-Fi fails.

13 States Have Passed Alyssa's Law.

Colorado could be next. Be ready before the mandate arrives.
 

Colorado has no shortage of reminders that school safety requires more than a policy and a phone number. When something goes wrong, the gap between when a staff member needs help and when help arrives is measured in seconds — and most panic button systems fail in exactly the places where staff are most isolated.
 

Cora Alert closes that gap. Private LoRaWAN network, completely independent of district Wi-Fi. Works in your gym, your portables, your parking lot. Everywhere staff are, not just where your network reaches.

The coverage problem: Where do your staff actually need protection?

 

 

60% of school safety incidents happen outside the classroom — in hallways, parking lots, gym facilities, and portable buildings. These are also typically the areas with the weakest Wi-Fi coverage in older school buildings.
 

Ask yourself: if a staff member in your gym or parking lot needed help right now, what can they actually do?
 

Most systems require a phone unlock, an app, and a working cell or Wi-Fi signal. Cora Alert requires one tap on a wearable badge. No phone. No app. No network dependency.

 

A federal mandate may be coming regardless
13 states have passed Alyssa's Law. A federal version is in Congress now.

The federal ALYSSA Act (HR 1524), currently in Congress, would require silent panic alarms in every school in the country as a condition of receiving federal education funding — regardless of state law.
 

Colorado districts that deploy a system now skip the evaluation process, vendor backlog, and rushed procurement that will follow any federal mandate. Districts that move first also have the advantage of choosing on their timeline, at their pace, without emergency pricing.

Federal funding is available today — no mandate required

The federal COPS School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) covers up to 75% of qualifying safety system costs — up to $500,000 per district. Colorado public school districts are eligible regardless of whether Colorado passes a state mandate.
 

The FY26 cycle is expected to open in spring 2026. We're happy to help you plan your application.

The districts that move first have an advantage

When California passes Alyssa's Law — and the vendors scramble — districts that already have a deployed system skip the evaluation process, the procurement delays, and the installation backlog.
 

A 30-school-day campus trial costs your district nothing. If it works in your environment, you're already compliant before the law passes.

 

One tap. Room-level location. Works everywhere on campus.
 

Cora Alert uses a private LoRaWAN network — completely independent of your district's Wi-Fi, cellular, and IT infrastructure.

 












 

A full campus safety system — not just a panic button

• Alert Locator Tags — wearable, IP67 water/shock resistant, ~1-year battery. One tap activates a silent alert.

• BLE Beacons — installed in every classroom. Provides room-level accuracy so responders know exactly where to go.

• LoRaWAN Gateways — private network, up to 1,000 ft range, penetrates complex structures.

• Alert Panel — fixed display showing staff location and alert status in real time.

• AI incident summarization — real-time summary of what's happening so responders know the situation before they arrive.

• Facilities sensors (available) — door/window sensors verify your locked-door policy is actually working, not just assumed to be.

20 minutes. No sales pressure. Just a direct conversation.

We talk to Colorado safety directors, superintendents, and technology directors every week. Most conversations are about the same three things: does it really work in our oldest building, what does the IT team need to do, and how do we get this approved.

We can answer all three in 20 minutes.
