“Our kids can’t focus on learning if we aren’t meeting the basic need for safety within the walls of their schools and making sure students’ mental health needs are met,” said Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, chair of Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the School Safety and Security Committee. “This program is more than funding—it’s about investing in the well-being of our kids and giving peace of mind to their families and school staff who are dedicated to helping them learn and grow.”

The awards announced are the final awards as part of the $120 million school safety grants program package appropriated in the 2024-2025 state budget.
