Technical Abstract
Avery ISD used grant-funded school safety window film on doors and windows, showing how a small rural district can modernize glass protection quickly..
- Epic Solar Control says Avery ISD used school safety grants to fund its window film installation.
- The project covered interior and exterior doors and windows at the district’s facilities.
- The company page does not disclose square footage, but it does clearly frame the work as a school-security retrofit.
- This is a practical model for small rural districts that need a fast, budget-aware upgrade.
Key Technical Chapters
Avery ISD is a small district, but the security lesson is the same as for much larger systems: hardening glass is one of the fastest ways to improve a campus perimeter. Epic Solar Control says Avery ISD used school safety grants to cover the cost and installation of the project, and that the work covered interior and exterior doors and windows at the district’s facilities.

Important clarification: Security window film is not bulletproof. Standard security film (8-14 mil) delays forced entry and holds shattered glass together, but it does not stop bullets. True ballistic protection requires certified multi-layered glazing systems with specialized framing. The value of security film is in the seconds it buys - enough time for lockdown procedures to begin and law enforcement to respond.
Project Overview: Avery ISD
District context: Avery ISD is located in Red River County in far Northeast Texas and serves about 340 students.
Scope: Interior and exterior doors and windows.
Installer: Epic Solar Control.
Funding: School safety grants.
Why This Project Matters
Avery ISD shows how a small district can use grants to move quickly on security. The project is not massive, but it is practical. A modest district does not need the largest project in the state to benefit from better glass hardening.
That makes this a helpful model for rural schools that want to make smart use of state or local safety funding without waiting for a full rebuild.
Why Film Over Replacement
For a district of Avery’s size, film is the more realistic retrofit. It allows the district to strengthen existing glass, keep the building open, and avoid the cost of changing out windows and doors everywhere vulnerability exists.
