150 Schools Across Michigan To Receive $10 Million In Safety Grants

(CBS DETROIT) -- State officials say $10 million is being awarded to 150 schools in Michigan to improve the safety and security of the buildings, students and staff.

According to a press release, the funding from the Competitive School Safety Grant Program (CSSGP) is awarded to 57 local school districts, 14 intermediate school districts, 40 nonpublic schools and 39 public school academies.

The schools have until July 1, 2023, to spend the money.

"These grant awards will provide the resources needed by many schools throughout our state to ensure students have a safe learning environment," said MSP Director Col. Joe Gasper. "The review committee gave priority to proposals that sought to secure exterior access points at school buildings, as it is considered one of the best and most cost-effective ways to improve safety and security."

Officials say more than 330 applications were submitted, requesting about $35 million. The applications were reviewed by a committee including members of the Michigan State Police, Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, Sheriffs' Association, state Department of Education, Association of Non-Public Schools, Michigan Emergency Management Association, charter schools and school security personnel.

"Schools should be safe havens for all those who walk their halls and learn in their classrooms," said Tina Kerr, executive director of the Michigan Association of Superintendents & Administrators (MASA). "These dollars are essential to helping ensure that students and staff across the state are safe. We are happy to see so many Michigan districts receiving grants and hope to see even more districts able to access these important supports in the future."
