Alabama State University has been selected for a $2 million grant to help prevent violence in Montgomery Public Schools.
“This program provides a platform for students, teachers, and parents to work together to promote safe and secure learning environments. The program leverages modern technology to enhance the effectiveness of violence prevention strategies in schools,” said ASU’s provost, Dr. Carl S. Pettis.
The program is a comprehensive project designed to provide training and violence prevention initiatives in MPS schools. ASU says it will provide the resources to support staff training for school personnel and to educate students on preventing school violence. “The program can be customized to meet the specific needs of the school and the implementation process which involves the school’s security situation, security measures, policies, and procedures,” Pettis added.Not reading this story on the WSFA News App?
