The Copperas Cove Independent School District was awarded a $468,750 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.710). The purpose of this grant is to improve security at schools and on school grounds through evidence-based safety programs and technology. The funding will be used by the school district to implement initiatives that promote a positive learning environment and enhance overall school safety for students. As a public school district situated near a major military installation, Copperas Cove ISD serves a significant population of military-connected students and has a history of securing federal grants to support its educational infrastructure, programming, and student services.

Funding under this award program will be used by the school jurisdiction to implement evidence-based programs to improve school security and promote a positive learning environment for all students.
