Council Rock Gets $20K Grant To Prevent, Reduce School Violence

Council Rock Gets $20K Grant To Prevent, Reduce School Violence | Newtown News of Interest | Scoop.it

Council Rock School District has received $20,000 in funding from the state to help reduce and prevent violence in schools, officials announced on Thursday.

The money will be used for a number of programs, including improved anti-violence efforts involving schools, local law enforcement, parents, and community organizations, the state said.

Details on exactly what these programs will look like have not yet been made available.

johnmacknewtown's insight:

IMHO, this money should be used to support student lobbying lawmakers for better gun control measures such as thus proposed by a Newtown Twp Resolution passed not too long ago:“Newtown Township Passes Gun Safety Resolution After Emotional Student Testimony”.
