Background:
In March 2018, Wisconsin Act 143 “Office of School Safety and School Safety Grants” was enacted. Grant Award 2018 School Safety Initiative DOJ (grant number: 2018-SSI-01-12953) mandates full compliance with the requirements of Act 143.

This Act pertains to all public and private schools in Wisconsin. The Act requires the following to be submitted by school districts to the Office of School Safety Department of Justice (DOJ) by January 1, 2019:

• A copy of its school safety plan.

• The date of the required annual safety drill or drills held during the previous year.

• Certification that the school board or governing body reviewed a required written evaluation of the drill or drills.

• The date of the most recent school training on school safety and the number of attendees.

• The most recent date on which the school board or governing body consulted with a local law enforcement agency to conduct required, on-site safety assessments.

All items listed above are compiled for submission to the Department of Justice to meet the January 1, 2019 deadline.

Pertaining to the third bullet listed above, a school-wide safety drill was conducted on December 6, 2018, and included those Contracted schools that are part of the grant. The safety drills required a written evaluation by the principals and a review by the school board within 30 days. The Summary Report: District Safety Drill, is attached.
