Bourne Public Schools Awarded Grant Funding for School Safety and Security Enhancements

BOURNE — Superintendent Kerri Anne Quinlan-Zhou is pleased to share that Bourne Public Schools was recently awarded grant funding to enhance school safety and security measures. 

The $75,253.16 grant was awarded by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security as part of the Safer Schools and Communities Initiative. Bourne is one of 42 Massachusetts school districts to receive this grant.

“On behalf of the entire district, I would like to thank the Healey-Driscoll Administration for this generous grant,” said Superintendent Quinlan-Zhou. “The safety of our students, staff and administrators is our top priority and this funding allows us to continue to further enhance the security of our school buildings for all.”

The funding will be used to make school safety infrastructure improvements including security enhancements at building entrances, installation of access controls, and a new visitor system. These security enhancements will improve communication across the district.

“These grants will provide schools with the resources necessary to foster safe learning environments for students and educators. Our administration is committed to collaborating across federal, state and local governments and leveraging every possible tool to enhance safety across Massachusetts and within our schools,” said Governor Maura Healey.
