Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday called for a special session of the Legislature to pass a $100 million school safety plan.
The package includes grants for schools to enhance building security, an increased focus on trauma-informed care, stricter reporting requirements for bullying incidents and threats of violence and efforts to increase coordination between schools and law enforcement.
"No child, parent, or teacher should ever have to feel unsafe in school," Walker said in a statement. "This package of bills focuses on ways we can help schools be safe, just like we did at the federal level ensuring that every airport and airplane were safe after 9/11. The same thing needs to be true for our schools all across the state of Wisconsin. We are putting $100 million behind this plan."
