School safety and security remain a growing concern for parents and children as the number of school shootings continues to increase.

The K-12 School Shooting Database reported 330 school shooting incidents, only 19 fewer than the all-time high of the previous year. (The database defines an incident as anytime a gun is fired or brandished with intent or when a bullet hits school property.)

Just a few months into the year, there have already been three school shootings that resulted in injuries or deaths, according to Education Week, noting there have been 224 such shootings since 2018.

With incidents of gun violence on the rise, creating safer environments is a high priority for school administrators.

These concerns are driving adoption of new security solutions to protect students and faculty. We've spent decades supplying bulletproof glass for schools and other vulnerable locations.

Here are five key trends we see in ballistic security barriers and bullet-resistant glass for schools.

TSS CEO Jim Richards has spent decades supplying bulletproof glass for schools and other vulnerable locations.

"I recall looking at these numbers back in 2018 and finding it sobering to see school shootings resulting in injury or death had become a weekly occurrence in the United States. But this, it's almost unimaginable to see a graph like this."

Drawing on his decades of experience, Jim sees four key trends in ballistic security barriers and bulletproof glass for schools in 2023.
