The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday gave more than $290,000 to five Baltimore City schools affected by the April unrest following the death of Freddie Gray.
The grant was given through the Department of Education's Project School Emergency Response to Violence Program.
Each school will receive about $60,000. The principal of one of the schools hopes this is just the start.
"My hope is that there's a strategic, long-term approach, and dedication to our neighborhood and our families that will be long-term planning that will move pas this election year," Matthew A. Henson Elementary School principal Dave Guzman said.
The money will allow schools to hire more full-time social workers and psychologists to support the students, their family and faculty members.
