Security Film for Windows Strengthens Texas School Safety
Preserve Learning Environments While Addressing Critical Safety Concerns in Tyler Area K-12 Schools

Texas teachers face a retention crisis. The attrition rate rose to 13.4%, a historic high, from 2021-2022, with nearly half citing discipline and safety concerns as primary factors. Gun violence prevention ranked as the top safety concern in a 2024 Texas AFT survey, while educators report an "epidemic of violence" and dangerous student disruptions affecting daily operations.
Tyler area schools need immediate solutions that protect students and staff without compromising learning. Security film for windows delivers proven protection against external threats and internal disruptions while maintaining the open, welcoming atmosphere essential for the world of education.

Madico Security Film Creates Barriers Against External Threats
Madico security film transforms standard windows into protective barriers through advanced adhesive technology. The film bonds to glass surfaces and holds shattered fragments together during extreme impact events, preventing dangerous projectiles from entering classrooms and hallways.
The multi-layer polyester construction distributes impact forces across the entire window surface. When someone attempts forced entry, the glass may crack but remains intact within the film barrier. Containment creates critical delays that give students and staff time to implement lockdown procedures or evacuate safely.
Properly installed Madico security film can delay forced entry attempts by several minutes. Those minutes allow law enforcement to respond quicker and enable security teams to secure vulnerable areas. The film also provides protection against severe weather events common in East Texas, so it delivers year-round value beyond security applications.
Addressing Internal Disruptions That Drive Teacher Turnover
Security film addresses the internal classroom disruptions that have contributed to Texas teacher shortages. The film prevents objects thrown during violent outbursts from creating dangerous glass shards that could injure students or staff members.
When students become aggressive and target classroom windows, the film maintains barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces. Containment helps administrators manage situations without concerns about students escaping campus grounds or accessing areas where they could cause harm.
The deterrent effect provides additional value. Students who might consider destructive behavior often reconsider when windows do not shatter easily. The film's presence discourages vandalism while remaining virtually invisible during normal operations.
Enhanced security measures will help retain experienced teachers who might otherwise leave due to safety concerns. The film demonstrates your administrative team’s commitment to creating secure learning environments that support both education and teacher confidence.
Rapid Installation Protects Schools This Academic Year
School administrators often assume security upgrades require extensive construction that disrupts learning schedules. Security film installation requires no structural modifications and can be completed during weekends or holiday breaks without affecting daily operations.
Our professional technicians complete the installation in hours per classroom. The process involves cleaning glass surfaces, applying film, and trimming edges for a precise fit. Students can return to classrooms that appear nearly identical but offer significantly enhanced protection. Existing window hardware remains functional, and no additional maintenance is required.
Rapid implementation means Tyler area schools can install security film protection before the current school year ends. Summer installations are also effective because they provide months of protection before students return. The film includes warranties that protect district investments long-term.
Cost analysis shows that security film delivers value compared to window replacement or major construction projects. Schools can protect multiple buildings for a fraction of the cost of other security upgrades. Many districts find that improved teacher retention and parent confidence justify the investment immediately.
