Governor DeWine Announces Application
Period Opens for $5 Million
in Ohio Campus Safety Grants
|
|
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio
Governor Mike DeWine today announced that Ohio’s 37 public
institutions of higher education may apply for their share of $5
million available in the Ohio Campus Safety Grant Program.
“Ohio continues to make investments to help protect our students and
staff, whether they are in kindergarten or pursuing a graduate
degree,” Gov. DeWine said. “Everyone should be able to learn in a
safe, supportive environment so they can succeed both inside and
outside the classroom.”
Today’s announcement follows last month’s award of $47 million via
the K-12 School Safety Grant Program to more than 1,000 schools.
“Applications are now open for Ohio’s public colleges and
universities,” said Chancellor Randy Gardner. “The Ohio Department
of Higher Education and the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) will
work together on reviewing these applications, with a plan to
announce the grant awards in October.”
To be eligible for grant funding, colleges and universities must
conduct a security and vulnerability assessment to identify
potential areas for improvement. Eligible expenses include but are
not limited to improved lighting in parking lots, security cameras
at building entrances, and secure doors.
“These grants will help fund vital safety and security upgrades to
assist campus law enforcement agencies and area first responders,”
said Tom Stickrath, Director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety
(ODPS), which houses the OSSC.
To find grant guidelines, public institutions of higher education
can go to https://ohioschoolsafetycenter.ohio.gov/college-and-universities/2022-campus-safety-grant-program.
Governor DeWine created the Ohio School Safety Center in 2019.
Housed within ODPS, the OSSC works to assist local schools, colleges
and universities, and law enforcement agencies to prevent, prepare
for, and respond to threats and acts of violence, including
self-harm, through a holistic, solutions-based approach to improving
school safety.
The Campus Safety Grant Program is one of two new school safety
programs launched last year by the OSSC. The 2022 K-12 School Safety
Grant Program, administered in partnership with the Ohio Facilities
Construction Commission (OFCC), awarded $47 million on Aug. 3, and
an additional $53 million is available for both public and private
schools to apply for this fall |
