A pilot program that deploys drones to stop mass shootings will launch in five Georgia schools this fall.

The Georgia legislature included $550,000 in the 2026 state budget to fund the emergency response system run by the company Campus Guardian Angel. 

Four of the five schools selected for the program are Coffee County High School in Douglas, Gainesville High School in Gainesville, River Ridge High School in Woodstock, and Statesboro High School in Statesboro.
