where can I find public school grants for security cameras ?
we’ve got a lot of blind spots and I want more coverage… I can’t find any sites to apply for grants that would help me get in more surveillance cameras.. any help would be great !

I doubt you’ll find any organizations that specifically fund such projects. Perhaps you’d be better off trying to find local organizations that will fund facilities upgrades - if they are local you have a better chance of meeting with someone in person and finding out if they would be interested in that project or in helping fund it as part of a larger project. You might want to stress the safety aspect rather than security.
Also, you might want to approach large technology companies that might be interested in donating equipment for the security cameras and other stuff that might be used to offer students hands-on experience with the equipment. Here’s the thing, companies and foundations want to fund things that seem to enhance the "quality of life" at schools. Nobody wants to be connected with something that either seems negative or has no sizzle factor.
Finally, if your population will support it, consider approaching a parent group to spearhead the project. Again, stressing the need for increased safety and the need to make sure unauthorized people aren’t on the campus. You may be able to get them to head up a fundraiser to help defray the costs.
Good luck.
