Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District has received a $1 million federal grant to improve crisis intervention programs. According to an official press release Monday, this award will improve security measures, including violence prevention and crisis response training for law enforcement and school resource officers, firearm safety training for community members, and data collection, technology, and information sharing to reduce violence.
A portion of this grant comes from the U.S. Department of Justice’s STOP School Violence Program and was authorized by Senator John Cornyn’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. After the tragic Robb Elementary School shooting, I authored the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to bolster mental health resources in our communities, strengthen school safety, and ensure this tragedy was not in vain,” said Sen. Cornyn. “Equipping law enforcement, school resource officers, and the community with the tools and training to quickly respond in crises can help save lives.
The bill was signed into law on June 25, 2022 to address specific concerns that have led to mass shootings.
