Grants were awarded up to $40,000 to help schools purchase equipment to improve safety and security and reduce the potential for injuries.
Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent told the Icon that the funds will go toward installation of some cameras for safety purposes and key fob access to all the buildings.
“The key fob access system will allow us to open and lockdown the building in a quick, automated manner,” he said.

The Village of Bluffton will begin its the bi-annual flushing of the fire hydrants this week, according to Bryan Lloyd, assistant village administrator.
"The process should take approximately two weeks to complete," he said, adding, "In the past, some residents have reported discoloration of the water during this process."
The discoloration usually subsides within a few hours of the flushing being completed in the area. Running a spigot for a few minutes can also help.
