CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More safety initiatives are underway to help keep Fort Mill students safe.
Along with the money the district received last year, the Fort Mill School District was granted over $300,000 in October along with a 25% local match.
So far the district has received funds two years in a row totaling over a million dollars awarded within the last year. They say receiving the grant is great news as they continue to expand.
They say the funds will allow them to invest in many things including national and state training for district-associated personnel, training or school resources officers, and will allow for a full-time security specialist.
The district says they’re also looking at adolescent mental health development courses, they say the funding will carry them through for the next three years.
