WREX: School District of Beloit receives funding to upgrade, enhance security at the high school
BELOIT (WREX) — Nearly $300,000 is coming to the School District of Beloit through the United States government.
The Department of Justice is giving the school district a $289,394 grant for upgrading and enhancing the physical security of Beloit Memorial High School.
“This funding comes at a time when as a nation, we're seeing unprecedented levels of disruption occurring in schools.
