PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Two Maine school districts are receiving more than $700,000 from the U.S. Department of Justice to prevent school violence.

Maine School Administrative District 30 in Lee will receive about $231,000 and Regional School Unit 14 in Windham and Raymond will receive about $473,000 from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services School Violence Prevention Program.

The two awards can be used for coordination with law enforcement; training for local law enforcement officers to prevent student violence; metal detectors, locks, lighting and other deterrent measures; and other measures that improve security.
