Moberly School District receives safety grant | #schoolsaftey


Governor Mike Parson recently announced 169 school districts and charter schools have received grants from the newly created School Safety Grant Program. 

The Moberly School District received $104,947 for the 2023 fiscal year. Grant funds will be used for:

  • 2 additional AED’s;
  • 40 Stop The Bleed Kits – five per school;
  • Video surveillance upgrades and expansion throughout the district.

“Improving the safety and security of our schools is an issue we can all support, and these grants help ensure our schools remain safe environments for Missouri children to learn,” Parson said. “While threats of violence are something we never want to see in our classrooms, we must be prepared and have proper resources and response plans in place.”

The grant program aims to support school safety improvements, including physical security upgrades and associated technology in school facilities (e.g., door locks, monitoring systems), bleeding control kits, and automatic external defibrillators. The $20 million grant was part of Governor Parson’s Fiscal Year 2023 early supplemental budget request. Governor Parson’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget proposal includes an additional $50 million for the program if approved by the General Assembly. The Moberly School District also applied for these additional funds. 

“Funding to support safety helps ensure schools remain among the safest places for our students,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said. “These grant funds to support the physical safety of schools are an important part of ensuring our students have a safe environment for learning and growing.”

School districts and charter schools applied to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) through a competitive grant application process for a maximum grant amount of $900,000 for districts/schools with the largest student populations.
