"The Minister for Home Affairs Bob Debus today announced that 20 schools across Australia would share $5 million in the first round of funding under the Secure Schools Program.
The Australian Government promised $20 million over four years as part of an election commitment under the Secure Schools Program to assist government and non-government schools to meet their particular security needs.
Mr Debus said while Australian schools were among the safest in the world, some schools had experienced racially-based incidents including threats and property damage."
