Lori Alhadeff, a New Jersey native, is a former K-12 Health and Physical Education teacher and stay-at-home mom. Her life changed when her daughter, Alyssa, was killed in the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Married to Dr. Ilan Alhadeff for 23 years, Lori is a dedicated community safety advocate. She holds a BS in Health and Physical Education from The College of New Jersey and an MA in Education from Gratz College, with certifications in both New Jersey and New York. Lori served on the Broward County School Board, where she championed policies for student safety, including the Alyssa’s Alert panic button initiative. She is also president of Make Our Schools Safe, a nonprofit focused on school security and student well-being.

This law mandates panic button systems in schools, ensuring direct and swift communication with law enforcement during emergencies.
