Delozier: Grants Bolster School Safety, Mental Health for Non-Public Schools

June 5, 2026

HARRISBURG - Rep. Sheryl M. Delozier (R-Cumberland) today announced the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) approved grants to bolster school safety and mental health support. Four non-public schools in the 88th District will benefit from the grants.

"I am glad to see several non-public schools in the 88th receive these important grant dollars," said Delozier. "Ensuring student safety and access to mental health support betters the quality of the education they receive. Safe schools where mental health services are readily available prepare our students for success in the classroom and beyond.

"As a former member of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency's board, I appreciate the work of the staff for distributing these funds."

The following grants wereawarded in accordance with grant guidelines for non-public schools:
• Merakey Pennsylvania - Hampden
• River Rock Academy - Shiremanstown Campus
• Saint Theresa of the Infant Jesus Parish and School
• St. Joseph Parish and School

The funding from this grant program may be used to help address school violence, improve student mental health and bolster school security, including costs associated with the training and compensation of security personnel.

Questions about these grant awards can be directed to Delozier's office at 717-761-4665.
