SUMMARY: The Perry County School District received a $500,000 grant from the Department of Justice to improve school safety. Phase one of the project, which includes installing cameras, radio systems, and GPS tracking on school buses, is almost complete. Phase two will focus on adding new communication systems in schools and enhancing security at entryways. The grant is particularly beneficial for smaller school districts like Perry County, which have limited tax bases. This proactive approach to safety is crucial, and the district will start installing radios and cameras on buses next week, with phase two expected to begin in the fall.

Phase one is almost done and includes installing new cameras, radio systems and GPS tracking systems on all school buses.
