Hogan Announces Mental Health and Safety Grants for Bucks County Schools

Multiple Bucks County schools have secured new state funding for safety and mental health initiatives, state Rep. Joe Hogan (R-Bucks) announced.

The grants were awarded through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s (PCCD) School Safety and Security Committee (SSSC).

The state grants are open to public school entities, including school districts, technical schools/centers, intermediate units, and charter schools. Funds will advance the School Safety and Security Committee’s goal of ensuring that all Pennsylvania students can learn in safe, healthy school environments by helping school entities address basic safety and mental health needs.

Recipients include:

• Council Rock School District – $527,180
• Neshaminy School District – $516,521
• Bucks County Technical School – $70,000
• Middle Bucks Institute of Technology – $70,000

“Our students should always feel safe and secure wherever they attend school,” Hogan said. “These grants help both our area school districts and technical schools provide programs to support their students’ mental health and fund safety upgrades at their facilities across the district.”
