Ki Charter expands ZeroEyes to San Marcos campus

PHILADELPHIA — ZeroEyes has announced that Ki Charter has expanded its contract following initial success. ZeroEyes’ proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution will now be deployed across the school’s San Marcos campus.

Ki Charter is an educational provider for students who reside in residential facilities (RFs) and day centers across Texas. The school serves over 6,500 students annually (500% mobility rate) with a dedicated team of educators and staff. The San Marcos campus is located within the 65-acre San Marcos Treatment Center, the largest residential treatment center in Texas.

“At Ki Charter, we serve a unique population of behaviorally challenged students, so our approach to security has to be comprehensive, proactive, and intentional,” said Dr. Jerry Lager, superintendent of Ki Charter. “Our Safety and Security Committee, campus teams, mental health staff, and local law enforcement all play a role in preventing and de-escalating potential threats, but ZeroEyes added a level of real-time awareness we simply didn’t have before. After seeing how effective the technology was, expanding its use was an easy decision.”

The center houses approximately 200 residents (and community students) who attend Ki Charter, and employs 425 staff members, including 50 from Ki and 375 from the San Marcos Treatment Center.

“Ki Charter has built a thoughtful, multi-layered safety program, and we’re proud to continue to play a role in strengthening it,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “Their leadership is deeply committed to protecting students and staff, and this expansion proves that they understand that proactive security is essential on a campus of this size and complexity.”
