school safety

Vidalia High School and the Concordia Parish School Board have received a significant boost through the Stronger Connections Grant program, securing $500,000 to enhance school safety measures. This grant, part of the federal Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022, highlights the community's dedication to creating a safer learning environment.

The funds will be utilized to implement single-point entry systems, upgrade security equipment like cameras with two-way communication, and provide training for staff members responsible for monitoring access points. This proactive approach, supported by local law enforcement and community stakeholders, demonstrates our strong commitment to the safety and well-being of students and staff across all schools in the district.
