HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania is setting aside money to help private schools with security needs after requests for help, including from Jewish day schools near the Pittsburgh synagogue that was the site of October's mass shooting.

Budget-related legislation signed last week by Gov. Tom Wolf earmarks $3.2 million for intermediate units to award to private schools through the Department of Education's safe schools grant program.

The Jewish education advocacy organization Teach PA says the program awarded $459,000 to private schools last year.

The program is $11 million total this year. That's separate from a year-old $60 million school security grant program in Pennsylvania spurred by last year's high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

Jewish day school parents and staffers have said they're particularly alarmed about security after synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh and California.

HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Game Commission says there are too many bald eagle nests for the agency to count on its own and it needs help.The commission used to release bald eagle numbers annually on the Fourth of July back when the birds were threatened. But bald eagles have made a comeback, from three nesting pairs in 1983 to more than 300 nesting pairs now around the state.The public can monitor and report bald eagle nests to the commission using an online survey tool.
