Three local school districts will get state money to improve safety for students.

The Dayton Public School District will get $500,000 to install a path from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and Louise Troy Elementary School to West Stewart Street and the Boys and Girls Club of Dayton.

Hamilton City Schools is also getting $500,000 to fix sidewalks and add ADA compliant curb ramps, crosswalks, and a retaining wall from Parkamo Avenue to Grand Boulevard.

Fairfield East Elementary School will get just under $492,073 to install a crosswalk and flashing beacon in front of Fairfield East Elementary School.

The district will also lay a new sidewalk along Morris Road and Princeton Drive at Fairfield East Elementary School.

The state is investing more than $8 million in school safety projects in 19 counties.
