2026 MARCS-In-Schools Security Grant

About this program

The Ohio OFCC Grants Team is offering the 2026 MARCS-In-Schools Security Grant to provide communications equipment, including radios and reception-enhancing antennas, to traditional K-12 public school districts statewide. Approximately 30 radios are available, with optional radios for local first responders; the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services MARCS team will install and program the equipment. Eligible applicants are traditional public school districts in any of Ohio’s 88 counties, with awards made on a first-come, first-served basis through September 18, 2026, or until equipment is exhausted.
