Safe and Sound Schools is a nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut, dedicated to improving safety in K-12 schools. It was founded in the wake of the December 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy by Michele Gay and Alissa Parker to advocate for stronger school security and safety measures. The organization supplies resources and guidance to parents and school communities to support prevention, preparedness, and response to threats, functioning as a national advocate and information hub for school safety. Recent activity includes participation in national safety forums, such as the 2025 National Summit on K-12 School Safety and Security. In 2024, it partnered with Verkada to support a fundraising campaign aimed at enhancing school safety. The organization maintains a website at safeandsoundschools.org and relies on a small team to carry out its work.
