SASA was founded in 2015 by security and education industry professionals and later established as a 501(c)(3) in 2025 by a group of community members passionate about school safety. From the beginning, our mission has been to support proactive schools that understand the importance of localized safety, accountability, and leadership in education. What started as a small initiative has grown into a trusted organization serving thousands of students and individuals each year through our comprehensive accreditation services. Join us in creating safer learning environments; start today! SASA is not a regulatory authority and does not make legal determinations. SASA assessments do not replace or supersede state or federal requirements. SASA does not guarantee safety, supervise daily operations, or provide security services. Final responsibility for compliance remains with the local education agency.
SASA serves as an independent, third-party accrediting authority focused exclusively on K–12 school safety, security, and emergency preparedness.
From creating effective policies to developing mission-ready emergency action plans and standard operating procedures, SASA is here to support every step of your safety strategy. We help schools with improvement recommendations so you're prepared when it matters most.
We help you identify potential threats and vulnerabilities that could impact your operational efficiency and business continuity. Our assessors strengthen today's safety and security measures while preparing you for tomorrow's challenges. With proactive planning and strategic foresight, we provide our evaluation findings to create seamless, resilient operating environments.
