Board discusses pursuing COPS grant and other safety funding options
Summary
Administration discussed applying for a federal COPS grant to enhance school security systems and noted life-safety bond proceeds could be used to support related capital improvements.
The administration briefed the board on a potential application for a federal COPS grant to support school safety investments such as upgraded video surveillance. The discussion noted that COPS grants and other federal programs can subsidize technology and personnel-related safety measures and that the district would consider how a life-safety bond could help cover any uncovered capital costs.
