XTRACT ONE SELECTED TO SUPPORT SCHOOL SAFETY ACROSS GRANVILLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Xtract One Technologies Inc.'s Xtract One Gateway system has been selected by Granville County Public Schools in Oxford, N.C., to strengthen security while minimizing ingress delays and reducing the need for manual bag checks.

The initial deployment will take place at two of the district's high schools and support Granville County Public Schools' broader commitment to enhancing safety while maintaining a welcoming learning environment. The Gateway installation will provide a scalable foundation for the district as it continues to evaluate security enhancements across its schools, with a focus on practical, real-world screening solutions that align with how students and visitors enter buildings each day. This approach supports consistent screening practices while preserving a positive experience for everyone. The district ultimately selected Gateway for its ability to accurately and efficiently scan individuals and bags, distinguishing prohibited items from everyday items, all while preserving the natural functionality and flow of the school environment.

"We're proud to support Granville County Public Schools as they take a thoughtful, pro-active approach to safety that prioritizes both protection and the day-to-day school experience," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One. "Gateway was purpose-built for environments like schools, where accurate weapons detection must be balanced with seamless, non-intrusive entry. This deployment reflects the growing momentum we are seeing across education institutions as districts continue to look for practical, respectful ways to enhance security without disrupting the overall learning experience."

"A key part of our mission to empower students every day is to create safe campuses for them. In today's school environment, safety solutions must reflect how students and visitors actually move through our buildings," said Dr. Stan Winborne, superintendent of Granville County Public Schools. "People arrive with backpacks, laptops and everyday items, and Gateway allows us to screen for potential threats without delaying entry. Xtract One stood out because Gateway helps us address real security needs in real time, all while keeping our schools welcoming and focused on learning."

Xtract One Gateway can deliver precise, high-throughput weapon detection in environments with consistent foot traffic and a medium volume of personal belongings. Using proprietary sensors and configurable bidirectional screening, Gateway unobtrusively scans individuals, their pockets and bags as they walk through entry points. The system accurately distinguishes everyday items such as laptops, notebooks, keys, cellphones, three-ring binders and metal water bottles from potential threats. This level of precise detection significantly reduces the need for secondary screenings and manual bag checks. As a result, Gateway enables entry processes that can be up to four times faster than those allowed by traditional screening methods, all while maintaining a smooth, respectful experience that prioritizes safety and personal privacy.
