How Mutualink’s Technology Has Helped Schools
Take Advantage Of Ohio State Funding For School Safety
In response to the increasing challenges posed by potential school shootings, Ohio has taken a proactive stance on enhancing school safety. The passage of House Bill 33 by the 135th General Assembly facilitates this effort.
Under this legislation, the Department of Public Safety and Ohio Emergency Management Agency are empowered to provide grant funding for security enhancements. These funds are available to various entities, including public and private educational institutions. Aimed at strengthening capabilities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to acts of terrorism, this initiative encourages eligible schools to thoroughly review the criteria and actively apply for grants. By doing so, institutions can fortify their security measures, fostering a safer environment for students, staff, and the broader community.
