School Safety and Security-Related Infrastructure Grant
Nebraska’s Department of Education (NDE) is taking proactive steps to enhance the security and safety measures in the state’s educational institutions. The School Safety and Security-Related Infrastructure Grant, supported by a $10 million fund allocated by the Nebraska Legislature in June, has been launched to assist both public and private schools in upgrading their security-related infrastructure.
This initiative focuses on addressing the pressing need for improved physical security across educational settings by channeling funds into advanced technology, essential safety equipment, and significant infrastructure enhancements. Upgrades eligible for funding include but are not lomited to the following crucial security measures.
Bleeding control kits
Door locking mechanisms
Visitor management systems
Ground lighting
Notification systems
Screening devices
The overarching objective is to create secure and conducive learning environments for students throughout Nebraska.
Schools interested in accessing a portion of the competitive grant funds are encouraged to submit their applications before the March 14th, 2024 deadline. Anticipated award announcements are set for April 3, 2024.
For detailed information on the grant program, including objectives, eligibility criteria, fund usage guidelines, application requirements, timeline, and post-award obligations, click here.
The NDE strongly urges all eligible institutions to seize this vital opportunity to enhance their safety protocols and infrastructure. Through collaborative efforts, a safer and more secure learning environment can be established for both students and educators across the state.
