Also this week, Governor DeWine announced the list of schools that received funding
for safety upgrades. A total of 708 schools in 57 counties received grant funding to
enhance student and staff safety, and Communion of Saints School is receiving

Governor DeWine is awarding the funds as part of his K-12 School Safety Grant
