VSBLTY PRAISES MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY'S SCHOOL SAFETY INITIATIVE
Vsblty Groupe Technologies Corp. has applauded the efforts of Matthew McConaughey's organization that will assist schools in accessing the over $1-billion in grant money available through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
The Greenlights Grant Initiative website is a one-stop shop for accessing grants along with tools and tutorials. Its purpose is to make the grant application process more streamlined and accessible. In some cases, the organization will apply on a school's behalf.
On July 20, 2023, Mr. McConaughey posted a video outlining and updating his initiative on YouTube.
"There is the need, there is the funding, and there is the technology, yet bringing these components together for a solution is proving to be challenging for some school districts," explained Jay Hutton, chief executive officer of Vsblty. "We applaud the initiative created by McConaughey and his wife to help schools access available funding and, ultimately, implement safety solutions. We look forward in being able to play a small part in this noble effort to make our schools and our children safer."
Vsblty's artificial-intelligence-driven software Vector provides enhanced facial recognition that is crucial to strengthening today's security requirements when applying contextual data, including the ability to recognize weapons or suspicious persons in a crowd.
With various partners, Vsblty has launched a vigorous campaign with its Vector technology to provide protection to U.S. schools and houses of worship and to scale up these deployments. This additional financing and streamlined access could help accelerate these installations and rollouts.
