As the sub-awardee, Fremont School District will implement strategies to develop partnerships and problem-solving techniques between law enforcement and the community served under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710). The district will use the funding by September 2025 to directly support security improvements and violence prevention efforts at schools within its jurisdiction.
