Text of the letter Congressman Banks included in the packet can be found here or below:

Dear ___,

Ensuring that our children can be educated in a safe environment is a universal goal shared by parents, teachers and elected officials. As your Representative in Congress, I am committed to working with you to find common-sense solutions to make our schools safer, and to provide information about existing federal resources that are designated for this purpose.

Included with this letter is information regarding existing federal programs and grants that can be used to enhance school safety. These initiatives span four federal agencies and include billions of dollars to fund efforts to create a safer learning environment for our children.

I hope you will find this information useful and that it can assist you in your efforts to educate the next generation of Hoosier leaders. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kathie Green in my office at Kathie.Green@mail.house.gov.

Thank you for your service to our community.
