Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced the approval of more than $29.8 million in matching state school safety grants, marking the fifth straight year of record-breaking investments in the safety of Indiana schools.
Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly approved Gov. Holcomb’s 2023 Next Level Agenda budget proposal to increase the Secured School Safety Grant by $25 million each year. Due to additional funding from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security budget, the Board voted to approve all application requests, totaling 605 projects for 474 schools.
For this fiscal year, the board approved $29,824,803.67 in school safety funding.
Of that, Culver Community School Corporation got $100,000, Eastern Pulaski School Corporation received $68,205, Knox Community School Corporation received $70,660, North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation was awarded $50,000, Oregon-Davis School Corporation received $100,000, South Central School Corporation received $50,000, and West Central School Corporation got $32,000.
