Patriot Glass Solutions Dealer Network Continues to Procure Orders as a Texas-Based Dealer Receives Five Purchase Orders from Lampasas Independent School District

All Texas public school system instructional facilities are now required to have access points that are secured by design following Texas Education Agency’s new rule on school safety standards

Patriot Glass Solutions’ forced entry-resistant security film and ballistic film meet the new Texas mandate

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot Glass Solutions, a division of C-Bond Systems (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a developer and marketer of glass strengthening solutions for enhanced safety, announced today its dealer network continues to procure orders as one of its Texas-based dealers receives five purchase orders from the Lampasas Independent School District.

The Company’s Texas dealer network continues to receive purchase orders from Texas schools, including projects in Dallas, Austin, and other areas across the state. Following the adoption of the Texas Education Agency’s (“TEA”) final rule (the “Rule”) on enhanced school safety standards in late May 2023, one of the Company’s dealers has procured the Lampasas Independent School District to ensure the district’s compliance with the TEA’s new Rule.

The TEA’s new Rule on school safety requires all Texas public schools to reinforce certain glass doors and windows with forced entry-resistant film or other methods. The TEA’s Rule mandates that, “Unless inside an exterior secured area, doors constructed of glass or containing glass shall be constructed or modified such that the glass cannot be easily broken and allow an intruder to open or otherwise enter through the door (for example, using forced entry-resistant film).”

The Rule also mandates that, “Except when inside an exterior secured area, all ground-level windows near exterior doors that are of a size and position that permits entry from the exterior if broken shall be constructed or modified such that the glass cannot be easily broken and allow an intruder to enter through the window frame (for example, using forced entry-resistant film).”

Michael Wanke, President of Patriot Glass Solutions, said, “The TEA’s adopted rule requires schools to improve their security measures, particularly on glass windows and doors. Not only is the TEA now requiring schools to implement these standards and the state legislature offering grant funding to support it, but also parents are demanding it. We continue to receive increased outreach from schools to comply with the TEA’s requirements.”
