Alyssa’s Law in Illinois: A Practical Guide for Schools

Best PracticesSchools & DistrictsWebinars

Alyssa’s Law is reshaping how schools across the country prepare for and respond to emergencies, and Illinois is the latest state to act. For district leaders, safety directors, and IT teams the clock is ticking and practical questions need answers: What does the law actually require? What’s the timeline? And what should your schools be doing now to prepare?

Join Singlewire Software experts for a focused session built specifically for Illinois schools. We’ll break down what Alyssa’s Law means for your district, walk through the requirements, and show how the technology you already own could help meet them, without a costly rip-and-replace.

When: Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 1:00 pm CDT

This session will also feature Lori Alhadeff, founder of Make Our Schools Safe and mother of Alyssa Alhadeff, for whom the law is named. Lori will share the story behind the movement, why Alyssa’s Law matters for schools everywhere, and where the effort is headed next, including the proposed federal Alyssa’s Act.

You’ll learn:

  • What Illinois schools need to do and what solutions to consider to comply
  • Practical steps to prepare now, using technology schools already have in place
  • Important deadlines to be aware of to meet requirements
  • How the federal Alyssa’s Act fits into the broader national picture
  • How InformaCast helps schools initiate lockdowns, connect directly to first responders, and reach the right people on every device the moment it matters

As a proud partner of the Make Our Schools Safe initiative, Singlewire is committed to helping Illinois schools turn this mandate into a stronger, more connected approach to safety.
