(Indianapolis, Ind.) – The Indiana Department of Homeland Security is accepting applications for the Secured School Safety Grant.

Public school corporations, accredited non-public schools, charter schools or a coalition of school corporations and/or charter schools applying jointly are eligible to apply for the matching grants of up to $100,000, based on average daily membership of the school entity.

Schools awarded a grant may use the funding to employ a school resource officer, conduct a threat assessment, purchase equipment to restrict access to the school or expedite the notification of first responders, support firearms training, and more.

The grant application is open through August 2.
