Program description
This opportunity is for schools not part of public school districts (e.g., Educational Service Center/District, STEM School, Chartered Non-Public Schools, Community School, Joint Vocational School District). The state is offering grants, up to $100,000 per school, to eligible public-school districts and chartered non-public schools across Ohio to ensure students can feel and be safe while in their school buildings. This program will support building enhancements and equipment to meet or attain a baseline level of safety, consistent with Tier 1 of “Safety and Security Guidelines for K-12 Schools” created by the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS). Further information and documents can be found on the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission’s website. This program will support building enhancements and equipment to meet or exceed a baseline level of safety, consistent with Tier 1 of “Safety and Security Guidelines for K-12 Schools” created by the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS). Substitute House Bill 687 of the 134th General Assembly created an appropriation entitled ARPA School Security, and designated $100,000,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to be used to award grants of up to $100,000 per school building to eligible public school districts and chartered non-public schools. Grants shall be awarded according to guidelines developed in consultation with the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio School Safety Center within the Department of Public Safety (OSSC). If you received funding from OFCC’s 2021 School Safety Grant Program (established in S.B. 310 of the 133rd General Assembly and funded by appropriation item C23020, School Safety Grant Program), you are not eligible for this funding.
