You may already have the budget for ALOE.
Federal and state school-safety grants fund exactly what ALOE does — real-time threat reporting, behavioral threat assessment, and emergency coordination. You don’t need a new line item; you need the right money pointed at the right tool. Here’s how.

The fastest path
DOJ STOP School Violence Program
The best fit for most schools, because districts and local governments can apply directly — you don’t have to wait on your state. And ALOE’s software is fundable outright. Its allowable uses read like a description of ALOE:
Reporting systems
Staff report behavior, safety, and climate concerns from their phone in seconds — routed to the right person, with a full paper trail.
Behavioral threat assessment
Your psychologists, counselors, and social workers run structured risk assessments on the record; behavior and attendance data surface the early-warning patterns a threat team needs.
Notification & coordination tech
Lockdown alerts, a live floor-plan status board, and attendance-tied roll-call give staff and first responders one shared, real-time picture of the building.
Crisis intervention
Protocol-driven crisis intake routes a student to the right specialist, tracks the safety plan and follow-up, and closes the loop — every step documented.
That’s your whole ALOE stack — in one program.
Through your state
U.S. Dept. of Education — School Safety Enhancement (84.184A)
Here your state applies and districts receive subgrants. ALOE fits its emergency-communication and emergency-response-plan allowable uses: real-time alerts, a live building map, and per-room accountability that turns a static safety plan into one your staff actually use. If your state is applying, ask that ALOE be named in the project narrative.
How to budget it
Budget ALOE as one-time deployment, configuration, floor-plan build-out, and staff training under the Contractual line — the standing-up of a durable safety capability — not as an open-ended monthly subscription. That keeps the cost squarely inside what these programs fund.
ALOE also produces the reporting your funder requires for performance measures — concerns reported and resolved, assessments completed, drills run, response times — so your grant reporting is a byproduct of using it, not a separate chore.
Why funders say yes
ALOE fixes the three things that failed at Uvalde.
These programs exist because of the federal review of the Robb Elementary shooting. Applications are scored on how well they answer that report. ALOE was built around its three findings:
Accountability
No one knew who was in which room. ALOE’s attendance-tied roll-call answers “who is where, right now” in seconds.
Command & control
The response was uncoordinated. ALOE gives one live building map with per-room status as the common picture.
Communication
Alerts didn’t reach everyone. ALOE pushes status to every staff device and reflects it back to command.
