For those of you I haven't had the privilege of meeting yet, I'm Grant. I joined Orah as Head of Customer Success in September 2025, and I've been meaning to write something like this for a while. Onboarding is a word I think about a lot...

Orah, a leader in K-12 school safety and boarding school management software, today announced it has successfully closed a $2 million growth capital funding round. The investment was led by existing shareholder Punakaiki Fund.

Today, we are excited to announce that we are bringing that rigorous level of accountability to the entire market as an official Strategic Partner of Blackbaud. 

Every school has dealt with this: you pull a report on student absences, and instead of clean data, you get "Sick", "Ill", "Unwell", "Home sick", "Flu", all describing the same thing. Good luck spotting patterns in that mess.

If your school uses Blackbaud or Veracross as your Student Information System, you can now enable Single Sign-On for Orah.

Answer five quick questions to see how prepped your school is to account for the students in your care throughout the day.

A safety stack is the set of decisions that determine how quickly you can find a missing student, how confidently you can brief your board, and how calm your staff feel when something goes wrong.

In an emergency, speed, clarity, and reach are everything. Schools and organizations need to not only detect and manage incidents quickly, but also ensure the right people receive the right message immediately.

After an emergency drill, you need to know how quickly everyone was accounted for and whether your alert systems worked as intended.
