Several local schools will be receiving funding from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to help improve safety.
The School Safety and Security Committee has designated awards of over $406,000 for Seneca Valley School District as well as nearly $356,000 for Butler Area School District for addressing security gaps and improving mental health resources.
State Representative Aaron Bernstine says Mars Area School District will receive $250,000, Slippery Rock Area and Knoch School Districts will each collect about $180,000, and Moniteau School District $147,000.
The PCCD’s School Safety and Security Committee oversees programs designed to improve school safety and security, strengthen behavioral health supports, and provide training and technical assistance to schools across Pennsylvania.
