State Representative Jim Struzzi announced on Monday that five Indiana County School Districts were awarded a combined $171,834 in Safe Schools Target Grants.
The money, administered by the PA Department of Education, is awarded to schools to prevent and reduce violent incidents, to purchase safety and security-related equipment, and provide for the training and compensation of school resource and police officers. More than $9 million will be awarded to schools across the state this year.
In the 62nd legislative district, the districts that received funds included:
- Homer-Center, who received $64,994
- Purchase Line, who received $48,455
- Indiana, who received $42,996
- United, who received $38,840
- Penns Manor, who received $25,000.
This program is different from the School Safety and Security Grant program, as that grant program is administered by the PA Commission on Crime and delinquency.
