Lansing, Michigan — Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced on May 3 that 150 awards were made to 57 local school districts, 14 intermediate school districts, 40 nonpublic schools, and 39 public school academies for $10 million in state funding from the Competitive School Safety Grant Program (CSSGP). These grants will go toward the purchase of equipment and/or technology to improve the safety and security of school buildings, students, and staff.
