The Benton Police Department recently applied for a grant through the Central Arkansas Planning and Development District for school security improvements. It was announced recently that the grant for $15,000 had been approved and the check was presented to the school board and superintendent on 10/13.
Instrumental in helping to obtain the grant were Representative Kim Hammer and Senator. Jeremy Hutchinson, who worked hard on ensuring this money went to the Benton School District. The awarded funds will go for the purchase of school security improvements as outlined in the grant proposal.
The security improvements will be made to further enhance the district security teams that are currently in place.
