Monroe said that the schools hope to have the new system up and running by the beginning of the next school year.
Monroe said the money along with a matching portion of $75,000 will be used to install a new camera system in all county Schools. Monroe said the money will also be used to install a new camera system in the District Office.
Monroe said the schools are currently working to get everything lined up to receive funding and get vendors in line.
