Hatboro-Horsham Schools Getting $197K Safety Grant

EASTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA —State Rep. Nancy Guenst, D-Montgomery, has announced that the Hatboro-Horsham School District is among those in her district getting state grants.

Guenst said the grants were awarded by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to improve safety, security, and mental health support for students and staff at schools across the Commonwealth, including in Montgomery County.

"Investing in the safety of our schools isn't just about erecting fences; it's about nurturing
environments where every student feels shielded and empowered to thrive,” Guenst said. “These grants signify our commitment to fortifying the very foundation of our educational system: the well-being of our students and staff."

The following schools in the 152nd Legislative District received funding:

• Hatboro-Horsham —$197,596
• Bryn Athyn —$ 130,061
• Lower Moreland Township —$ 171,166
• Upper Moreland Township —$ 181,759

Funds will advance the School Safety and Security Committee’s goal of ensuring that all students can learn in safe, healthy school environments by helping school entities address basic safety needs and mental health services identified in the committee’s recently adopted Revised Baseline Criteria Standards.
