SCHOOL GUARD GLASS, LLC
LARGO, FLORIDA

The tragedy inspired dozens of changes to security precautions at schools across the country. It also led to a new business in Adams, Mass. that creates a unique glass to keep attackers out. The idea for "school guard glass" came the day of the Sandy Hook School shooting in December 2012. The first police officer was on scene about three minutes after the 911 call, which gave a first grade teacher just enough time to hide her class and survive. Now giving people time to stay alive is the mission at School Guard Glass . Chris Kapiloff works in the glass-installation business in Adams, Mass. The day of the Sandy Hook shooting, he came up with the idea for School Guard Glass. His neighbor, co-president Foster Goodrich, demonstrated how their product looks and feels just like regular glass. But it contains a laminate in the center, which makes it nearly unbreakable. The glass is five times cheaper than bulletproof products. Safe Guard Glass is $1,300 per door, and bulletproof glass is $6,500 per door. It's the cheapest door on the market, so the makers were able to strengthen it and make it into a cohesive product that prevents forced entry. We brought School Guard Glass to an independent armor testing facility resulting in our product becoming the new standard in affordable security glass.
