Michigan suspends school safety grants amid Parkland era gains
Michigan officials had 25 million in grants in 2018 to boost school security and 25 million more in 2019 after Parkland. In 2020 the Legislature paused the program due to the pandemic. 10 million is planned for 2022 with funds split between federal relief and general funds. The Oxford High incident renews calls for gun control and mental health funding.
