Smaller schools face big security challenges

Every school deserves to keep their students and staff safe. But the complex demands of today’s security requirements and grant funding processes put small to medium-sized districts at a profound disadvantage. A lack of dedicated resources and specialized personnel leave these school communities—the very ones most in need of support—struggling to access critical security funding and expertise.

Take control of securing your school’s future

Gothard Consulting is here to level the playing field. My unique approach combines expert guidance and a zero-risk grant writing process to help underserved districts obtain the funding necessary to secure their campus.

Unlike traditional grant writers or security consultants who provide separate services, I handle everything—from grant application through security implementation—while removing all financial risk. You only pay if I win your grant, and payment comes entirely from the awarded funds.

As a special operations veteran with over two decades of elite security experience and a proven track record securing federal funding, I’ve developed a comprehensive process that transforms overwhelming security challenges into manageable steps forward.

01 Discovery Phase

I conduct a thorough assessment of your current security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and develop a strategic plan aligned with grant requirements.

02 Application Phase

I handle the entire grant writing process, managing complex documentation while ensuring you maintain oversight of how your school is represented.

03 Implementation Phase

Upon award, I oversee all aspects of execution—from coordinating vendors and supporting assets to policy recommendations and reporting requirements.

04 Sustainability Phase

Once all proposed solutions have been implemented, I provide lasting value by establishing long-term guidance grounded in evidence-based security principles.

For optimal results, I recommend starting the process 6 months before the grant deadline. This gives us time to develop the strongest possible application and implementation plan.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE

Protecting our schools, serving your community

As a father with three young daughters in public schools, I see firsthand how today’s security challenges weigh on school leaders. Each news headline reinforces the urgency to act, yet for many administrators, the path to improving security feels unclear or out of reach. Without access to the right resources or guidance, you’re left wondering if you’ve done enough to protect your school.

This reality drove me to create a different approach. Drawing on my background as a special operations veteran and over two decades of security expertise, I’ve developed a comprehensive process that transforms both funding and implementation challenges into manageable steps forward. My work has secured nearly $2 million for schools that otherwise couldn’t afford to try. Today, these schools have robust security programs in place, when before they felt powerless to make essential improvements.

My commitment is simple: ensure your school can access the resources and expert guidance needed to protect your community, regardless of size or location. Don’t let limited funding prevent you from effectively securing your school.
