The Elida Local School District is excited to announce that we have been awarded $200,000 from Ohio K-12 School Safety Grant Program. These funds are to be split between the middle and high school, and represent the maximum award amount that the district was eligible to receive as part of this competitive grant program.
Elida High School and Elida Middle School represent two of the 708 schools in Ohio, out of more than 2,000 schools that applied, to be awarded these grant funds. "We are grateful for the funding that is being provided so that we can continue to improve the safety and security of our school buildings for our students and staff. It will allow us to make improvements not only in the physical aspects of site security, but also improve network and cyber security as well. It's definitely a win-win for our district and community," stated Superintendent Joel Mengerink.
It should be noted that the elementary school was not eligible to apply for funding due to the building being less than five years old
