Two months after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in May, the New Hampshire Department of Education announced a $13 million grant program to help New Hampshire districts improve school safety. The grants are being awarded to help Granite State.
The total number of New Hampshire residents who have died due to COVID-19 has moved past 1,000.
The Granite State reached the grim milestone about 10 months after the first death was recorded in mid-March. As of Monday night, state health officials had reported 990 deaths associated with the coronavirus with about 75% of those lives lost in long-term care facilities.
(Story updated: New Hamsphire surpassed 1,000 deaths on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021.)
These 1,000 deaths will represent 1,000 parents, siblings, dear friends, community pillars and others, including some who worked on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic or contracted the virus while caring for another.
They each represent a life cut short. A person who left a lasting impact on those around them. A person whose absence is felt with immeasurable grief.
