As part of Wisconsin Safe Schools Week, Attorney General Brad Schimel attended an adolescent mental health training in Madison Monday.
During the event, he announced that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety (OSS) has completed awarding the second round of school safety grant funding. OSS will hold trainings for more than 500 law enforcement officers and educators across the state this week. OSS Advisory Committee will also hold its first meeting.
In March 2018, the Wisconsin State Legislature and Governor Scott Walker passed and signed 2017 Wisconsin 143 into law, establishing the OSS and providing $100 million for school safety.
Today, approximately $6 million remains of the $100 million school safety grant funds. The remaining funds will be used for:· Funding the seven schools in round two that either withdrew or that did not originally apply;· Paying the tuition and related expenses for 10% of all teachers (about 7,500) to attend adolescent mental health training free of charge;· A mobile application and tip phone-line for anonymous threat reporting;· Online training videos; and,· An emergency response fund in the case of a crisis event at school.
During Wisconsin Safe Schools Week (October 21-27), DOJ will hold adolescent mental health training in Madison, Green Bay, Drummond, Racine, Wisconsin Dells, and Lake Geneva. These trainings will be attended by more than 500 educators and law enforcement. Wisconsin DOJ plans to train more than 2,000 teachers and other education professionals by the end of 2018, and more than 5,000 by the end of 2019.
OSS will also hold its first Advisory Committee meeting on Thursday, October 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m. in Madison. The committee will discuss threat assessment statewide best practices, technology and school safety, crisis management, and future initiatives of the OSS.
