Districts and local and state governments are investigating ways to upgrade school safety as a result of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting.
The money is part of the state’s Competitive School Safety Grant Program.
The district in Topeka, Kansas, adopted the camera systems to improve security.
A spokesman said $4.2 million will go toward redesigning the residence hall where the shooting took place.
Indiana Governor Mike Pence says he’ll double the $3.5 million expected to go into a school security grant program next year.
The money will go toward video monitoring systems, access control systems and more.
Systems Integration is like any other project: The cheapest proposal isn’t always the best (and it isn’t always the cheapest in the end).
Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New York and Ohio are the states that have school districts with security window film installed.
