The town of Sutton has received a grant of $133,000 through the state Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to improve security at its four school campus on Boston Road.

The grant application was written by Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Roberts-Morandi, Information Technology director Dan Durgin, business manager Harrison McKinlay, high school principal Ted McCarthy and school resource officer Nick Bertone.

The grant will be used to increase the number of cameras for interior and exterior security, Roberts-Morandi said.

“We will be looking at what best serves the overall scope of Sutton’s needs,” she said. That will include overall compatibility to what’s already in place as well as tie-ins to the police station. 

“We’re very excited to be a recipient of this year’s grant,” said Roberts-Morandi. “It speaks volumes about the strength of collaboration between the schools  and the police department.”
