To make this "Reverse 911" system a reality, the schools have received a $330,625 grant from the US Department of Education, Superintendent Jeffrey Young said this week. The federal funds will also be used for training of school personnel in crisis response, education material for students, and on workshops for parents. -- Ralph Ranalli Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 12:53 PM
