In recent months, Gov. Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly announced a one-time $40 million grant for Tennessee Public Schools and $14 million grant for Tennessee Non-Public Schools to invest in school safety improvements. This funding is an opportunity for schools to make necessary infrastructure upgrades and program implementations to create a safe environment for students and teachers.
What Can Schools Spend This Money On?
-
- Emergency Operations Planning
- Improving physical security (e.g. cameras, door locks, communication/emergency notification apps, etc.)
- School Resource Officers
- Violence Prevention Planning (e.g. Behavioral Threat Assessment)
- Safety Training for Staff Members
