Kenton School District Receives Funding from Ohio’s School Safety Grant Program

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced Tuesday that more than $42 million has been awarded to support physical safety and security upgrades at hundreds of Ohio schools. 

A total of 624 schools will receive funding as part of the fifth round of Ohio’s K-12 School Safety Grant Program.

The Kenton City School District has been awarded a total of $150,000 in round 5 funding.

That will be divided equally between the Elementary, Middle and High Schools.

The grant program was funded through Ohio’s operating budget and with allocations from the American Rescue Plan Act.
