LANCASTER, N.Y. — The Lancaster Central School District is upgrading the security camera systems at its middle school and high school this summer with funds from a federal grant. The grant and matching funds from the district total $50,270.

The funds will pay for 16 interior and exterior cameras, two digital video recorders and a security command center, Buffalo News reports. Half of the cost will be covered by the Justice Department’s Secure Our Schools program.

The new system should be operational by September, according to Jamie Phillips, assistant superintendent of business and support services.
