Hudson, MI – Nearly 200 school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies received State of Michigan funding to support the hiring of school resource officers for the next three years.
195 entities, including four schools in Lenawee County, will split nearly $25 million.
The funds administered by the Michigan State Police, Grants and Community Services Division, may be used to support salaries, benefits and training for School Resource Officers. A 50 percent match is required to be provided by the applicant jurisdiction.
These dedicated school safety and mental health dollars can be used by schools to hire more mental health professionals, harden buildings, and create an intervention system for students who are at-risk.
Blissfield, Hudson, Madison, and Sand Creek schools were the Lenawee County recipients.
