School security was discussed at the Tuesday night, May 31, meeting of the Kansas City, Kansas, Board of Education. Plans are underway to apply for a grant for security, according to district officials. District administrators are proposing to use grant funds up to $1 million to increase lighting and cameras at school buildings. The grant would require a 50 percent match from the district. Tracy Kaiser, executive director of business operations, said although their initial thought was to apply for $1 million, they understood from state education officials that probably only $400,000 to $500,000 could be approved, so they are looking at a $200,000 or $250,000 match.
