Schools in Pennsylvania Will Receive Major Grants

Schools in the Midstate area are getting extra money to make things safer and better for students and staff.

A group called the School Safety and Security Committee (SSSC) gave out grants on Monday. These grants are for the 2023-24 school year. They’re giving out a total of $155 million from both the state and federal governments. This money is for different programs that help with school safety and mental health.

Some of the money is going to a program called the Noncompetitive School Mental Health Grants.

This program helps schools with mental health services. Another part of the money is from the Formula-Based School Safety and Security Meritorious Grants. This program helps schools based on certain criteria.

There’s also money from the Competitive School Safety and Security Grants program and the Targeted School Safety Grants for Nonpublic Schools program.

One lawmaker, State Rep. Thomas Kutz, thinks this money is really important. He says it will help make sure that students, teachers, and other school workers are safe. He also thinks it will help with students’ mental health. State Reps. Seth Grove and Kate Klunk agree. They say that safe schools are very important, and this money will help make schools better places for kids to learn.

Overall, this extra money will help schools in the Midstate area make important changes to keep everyone safe and supported.
