Support School Safety Solutions

Wisconsin Representative Sondy Pope has introduced a package of bills aimed at keeping students and staff safe. The bills reflect the principles for safe schools forwarded by the state department of public instruction in partnership with WEAC, calling for solutions that improve social and mental health – not pointing more guns at schools. The proposals vary greatly from Governor Walker's school safety package -- which offer no long-term funding solutions and call for more armed guards in classrooms.

The bills, now circulating for co-sponsorship, would allow for more funding for safety improvements, provide state aid for school mental health programs, create grants for violence prevention and reduction, and more. Read about them here.
