Loychik Supports Nearly $2 Million Coming to Trumbull and Ashtabula Counties for School Security

State Rep. Mike Loychik (R-Bazetta) announces a total of $1,951,067 coming to Trumbull County and Ashtabula County schools for security upgrades. The initiative was made possible through legislation Loychik cosponsored and supported to strengthen school security. The funding stems from House Bill 687, which allocates $100 million for the School Safety Grant Program.

“I’m pleased to see this funding coming to our local school districts,” Loychik said. “In addition to this, I will definitely be requesting more school security funding in our next state operating budget come next year.”
