Meet Dr. Jason Covarrubias
Protected Pathways grew out of Dr. Covarrubias's doctoral dissertation, A Call for Protection and Planning: A Case Study of Vulnerable Populations and School Shootings. For 25 years he has also coached cross country and track & field — 12 at the collegiate level — guiding student-athletes to 14 national championships through a culture of accountability, resilience, and continuous improvement.

Safety, planned with purpose
School Safety Assessments
A thorough, on-site evaluation of your campuses — physical security, procedures, and the human factors most audits miss.
Crisis Preparedness Planning
Specific, practiced, leadership-owned emergency plans — not binders on a shelf. Built for your buildings and your people.
Vulnerable Population Protection
Planning that accounts for students with disabilities, language barriers, and trauma histories — so no one is left out of the plan.
Training & Workshops
Relationship-based training for educators, administrators, and staff — the true first line of protection in every school.
Trusted by school districts and organizations including
The Salvation Army
The coaching legacy
Championships are a culture, not an occasion
A school does not rise to the occasion in a crisis — it falls to the level of its preparation and culture. The same principles that produced 14 national championship teams drive our approach to safety leadership.
