District launched with Evolv Express® in 2022, added Evolv eXpedite™ in 2025 to streamline entry and support a welcoming learning environment

Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that Spartanburg District Five Schools in South Carolina has expanded its deployment of Evolv solutions district-wide. After initially launching Evolv Express® in 2022, the district added Evolv eXpedite™ in 2025, further strengthening its proactive approach to school safety while helping maintain an efficient, welcoming entry experience for students, staff, and visitors.

As part of the expansion, Spartanburg District Five has expanded over the years to 29 Evolv Express systems and four eXpedite units across all 14 schools in the district, including elementary, middle, and high school campuses. Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to help detect certain concealed threats and identify the person and location of a potential threat, while allowing people to move through checkpoints at their natural walking pace. Evolv eXpedite, a bag screening solution for high-throughput venues, is designed to streamline security operations, helping districts adapt quickly to different entrances, events, and traffic patterns.

“Our partnership with Evolv Technology is unique because it allows Spartanburg District Five to blend innovative safety solutions with our mission of fostering a welcoming school environment. Together, we are setting a new standard for proactive school safety, providing peace of mind for families, staff, and students while keeping the focus on learning,” said Ryan Cothran, Director of Safety and Emergency Services for Spartanburg District Five Schools. “Their products add an important layer of security while being fast and innovative and without disrupting the flow of the school day, helping us keep students and staff safe.”

“School leaders are working hard to balance safety with a positive morning experience,” said John Kedzierski, CEO and President of Evolv Technology. “We built eXpedite from the ground up to meet the needs of schools to optimize both speed and accuracy. Spartanburg District Five’s multi-year approach, starting with Express in 2022 and expanding with Express Gen 2 and eXpedite, illustrates how districts can strengthen safety, reduce entry bottlenecks, and keep the focus on learning.”

The district’s deployment reflects a broader trend among K-12 institutions that are integrating advanced screening technology to support both safety and throughput during peak arrival times and special events. Evolv counts 1,000+ customers worldwide, including schools, hospitals, cultural institutions, workplaces, and major sports and entertainment venues.
