The funding will support upgrades to school safety infrastructure in partnership with the Middleport Police Department, which provides two full-time School Resource Officers for the district. Over the course of the grant, the district will implement a new reunification program, upgrade mass communication systems, install panic buttons and remote lockdown capabilities, expand camera coverage throughout all school buildings, and integrate a new technology server and advanced security systems. Staff, administrators, and School Resource Officers will be trained on all new equipment, and a long-term sustainability and replacement plan will be established. “These funds will help Royalton-Hartland enhance student safety, close coverage gaps, and strengthen coordination with local law enforcement,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “The safety of our students is a top priority, and I was honored to support this project. I look forward to seeing these improvements implemented to protect students, educators, and staff across the district.” “The District is excited about the prospect of this grant and what these upgrades will mean for us over the next three years,” said Superintendent Jill Heck. Implementing a reunification system, new cameras and emergency alerts system will move us toward our Strategic Plan Goal #1 of improving upon the safety, security and learning spaces for everyone in our district. We are truly grateful for this opportunity.” The district expects these improvements to reduce incidents of bullying, harassment, fighting, and theft; improve response times; increase student and parent confidence in school safety; improve adherence to ADA standards; and eliminate camera blind spots that currently cause concern among students. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
