The funding allocated to each of these schools will in part support the purchase of new surveillance cameras, intercom system, new lighting, the replacement of metal exit doors, new and improved alarm systems, roof exterior doors, and other safety controls.

Senator Marty Golden stated, “There is nothing more important than making sure that our children and teachers go to school every day in a safe environment. I am proud to have been able to secure this funding through the State of New York to improve the security already in place at these parochial schools.”

“In partnership with school leadership, we have identified and funded the needs that require immediate attention at these schools. I remain focused on making sure that the security in our schools is both modern and effective. Parents and school administrators should never hesitate to reach out to me to discuss the needs of their schools ” concluded Senator Marty Golden.
