National Program Provides West Virginia School
District Evolv Screening Systems to Help Ensure Student and Staff
Safety
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in weapons detection
security screening, today announced Fayette County Schools in
Fayetteville, West Virginia is the first recipient of the GiveEvolv
grant program. Fayette County Schools will receive three Evolv
Express® weapons screening systems that will be installed at Oak
Hill High School, Oak Hill Middle School, and Fayetteville
PK-8.
“Throughout all Fayette County Schools, we are committed to
fostering a learning environment where everybody feels included,
safe and respected. We proactively pursued the GiveEvolv program so
that our students, staff, their families, and everybody who enters
our buildings comes into a safe environment focused on the
education and development of our next generation,” said Gary Hough,
associate superintendent, Fayette County Schools.
GiveEvolv was established in September 2021 to further
accelerate Evolv’s mission in making the world a safer place to
work, learn and play. The program was created to donate Evolv
Express at no cost to public schools. GiveEvolv’s goal is to help
keep students and educators across the country safe and focused on
teaching and learning.
GiveEvolv is led by Chairman, Kevin Charlton, a member of
Evolv’s Board of Directors, and CEO of NewHold Investment Corp.,
and the organization receives advice and guidance from a diverse
and well-respected Advisory Board. The Advisory Board reviews and
votes on submissions from potential donees, with priority given to
schools that are most affected by the threat of weapons violence.
Several times each year, GiveEvolv will donate a number of Evolv
Express systems to a school or district in need. Initial funding
for GiveEvolv was provided by NewHold Investment Corp.
”Evolv is committed to making the world a safer place – this
mission particularly extends to our public schools, where gun
violence is an all-too-common tragedy," said Kevin Charlton,
Chairman, GiveEvolv and CEO of NewHold Investment Corp. "GiveEvolv
was created to accelerate this mission to schools in need. We are
proud to be making our first gift to the Fayette County Schools, to
help keep students and staff safer and focused on learning and
teaching."
Today, a press conference will be held at 12:00 ET at Oak Hill
High School to introduce the Evolv Express to parents, students,
staff, local law enforcement, and the community at large. At the
demonstration, media will be able, experience the system, talk with
school administrators, parents, students, local law enforcement,
GiveEvolv Advisory Board members and Evolv executives about the
technology and its deployment at schools throughout the County.
