4 million in 2023, the program received a substantial boost to $20 million through Senate Bill 101 in the latest legislative session.
This reimbursement-based grant program offers awards up to $50,000 per institution and is available to a wide range of educational facilities: Higher education institutions According to the Oklahoma Department of Education , schools that successfully implemented security measures through this grant program have reported a 67% reduction in security incidents and significantly faster response times during emergencies.
To qualify for funding, institutions must meet two primary requirements: Complete a risk and vulnerability assessment conducted by the Oklahoma School Security Institute Commit to using the funds for improvements recommended in the assessment and/or provide behavioral threat assessment training The application process is straightforward but time-sensitive.
Schools must submit applications by the annual deadline (typically in September) and receive approval notification within two weeks. Importantly, all expenditures require advance written approval from ODEMHS and must directly address the vulnerabilities identified in the assessment.
Allowable expenses include: Video surveillance systems Interoperable communications equipment Ballistic film and storm shelters Physical barriers including gates, doors, and windows We've seen firsthand how properly implemented security technology can transform a school's safety posture.
At VOLT, we work with Oklahoma schools to maximize their grant funding by creating customized security solutions that address their specific vulnerabilities while ensuring compliance with grant requirements.
Read the Complete Guide: The Future of School Security in the Modern Era Read the Complete Guide: The Future of School Security in the Modern Era School Security Revolving Fund House Bills 2903 and 2904 established the "School Security Revolving Fund," which represents a significant commitment to ongoing school safety.
This fund creates a sustainable financial resource for security enhancements that will continue beyond single-year appropriations.
The State Department of Education administers the revolving fund and can receive funds from multiple sources: State agency grants and reimbursements Federal government security project funding Private donations and bequests Legislative appropriations What makes this fund particularly valuable is its designated purpose for two critical areas: Establishing and maintaining a three-year School Resource Officer (SRO) Program Providing physical security enhancements for schools According to the Oklahoma School Security Institute , schools with properly trained resource officers and integrated security systems show 73% faster response times during security incidents than schools without these resources.
The legislation caps expenditures at $50 million per fiscal year, with funds to be divided equally among all public school districts in the state. This equitable distribution ensures that even smaller, rural districts can access security funding. An important element of the SRO Program is the requirement for specialized training.
Officers must complete law enforcement active shooter emergency response training through the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) and receive approval from the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. Its supplementary nature distinguishes the School Security Revolving Fund from other programs.
The legislation states that these funds "shall supplement and not supplant existing school security funding," ensuring that schools can layer multiple funding sources to create comprehensive security solutions. Visit the full school security system funding resource center.
Beyond Physical Security: Nonprofit Security Grant Program While many security funding options focus on physical infrastructure, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) offers an additional avenue for private schools with 501(c)(3) status. This federal program, administered in Oklahoma, provides funding for target hardening and physical security enhancements.
The program's 2024 application period runs from April 16 to May 24, with a complete submission requiring: FEMA's Investment Justification Template Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Mission Statement on letterhead According to the Department of Homeland Security , institutions utilizing this program have improved emergency response coordination by 58% and significantly reduced vulnerability to security threats.
For private educational institutions, this program offers a valuable supplement to state funding sources. The program is particularly valuable for those facing higher-risk scenarios or requiring specialized security enhancements that might exceed the scope of state programs.
Read the Case Study: How a Public High School Transformed School Security Cybersecurity Considerations with the SLCGP In today's increasingly digital educational environment, physical security is only one aspect of comprehensive protection. The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) offers resources to help educational institutions protect their digital infrastructure.
While the program is fully utilized, additional funding is expected later this year. Educational institutions should monitor the ODEMHS website for updates and new application opportunities. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that 85% of schools have experienced at least one cybersecurity incident in the past year, highlighting the importance of including digital protection in comprehensive security planning.
Real-World Implementation: Maximizing Security Funding Schools that successfully leverage these funding sources typically implement integrated security solutions that combine multiple technologies: At Prescott High School, VOLT’s system detected a student experiencing an asthma attack in an empty hallway, enabling response within 15 seconds—turning a potential tragedy into a success story.
The school utilized grant funding to implement a comprehensive system that includes real-time monitoring and medical emergency detection. Similarly, the University of Illinois Chicago implemented VOLT AI across 142 critical security camera streams, enabling advanced weapons detection, occupancy monitoring, and unusual behavior detection.
This implementation has allowed them to reduce reliance on third-party security services while improving overall campus safety. Securing Oklahoma's Educational Future Oklahoma's multi-layered approach to school security funding creates unprecedented opportunities for educational institutions to implement comprehensive safety measures.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve.
