HARRISBURG -- State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (R-Clinton/Union) has announced over $800,000 in grant funding for school safety within the 76th District, including two in Clinton County.
Four districts total will be receiving a portion of $811,837 in state funding that can be used to improve safety within each, according to the release from Borowicz.
"Protecting our children and the people who work in our schools must remain a priority," Borowicz said. "I strongly encourage our local school districts to put these dollars toward practical, physical security improvements that help keep students, teachers and staff safe. That could include armed security guards, strengthening secure entrances, improving access-control systems, upgrading security cameras or enhancing emergency communications. These are the kinds of investments that can make a real difference in protecting our school communities."
Districts who received grant funding include:
-- Jersey Shore Area School District – $195,044.
-- Keystone Central School District – $263,391.
-- Lewisburg Area School District – $177,689.
-- Mifflinburg Area School District – $175,713.
The noncompetitive grant program is administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. Each school district receives a base allocation of $100,000, plus additional funding calculated using its 2024-25 adjusted average daily membership.
