No. Funds may not be used to hire these kinds of personnel as this is not a hiring grant. However, applicants may request funds to allow safety personnel or other school personnel to perform tasks that are necessary for completing the proposed REMS project. For example, REMS funds could be used to cover the SRO’s time to provide a training on emergency management for school staff. However, REMS funds could not be used to hire SROs to carry out school security duties.
