SchoolSafe Communications, the leader in emergency communications technology for schools, will underwrite $1,000,000 in costs for a first round of 20 grants to U.S. school districts through the new School Safety Fund established by School Safety Partners.
The Interoperable Communications Pilot Program grants will support partnerships among school districts, local response agencies, and other community resources to make schools safer, and will cover the costs of an advanced communications system, as well as joint school safety planning, training, drills, exercises, and evaluations. The grants are also designed to help schools access additional funding from Federal sources and through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
Links to detailed information are included in the online application form.
School Safety Partners expects to announce 20 grants on February 26, 2010.
