Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers announced on Dec. 5 the direction of $10 million in pandemic-era funds to a grant program to help schools, police, local governments, and community groups prevent crime and violence across the state.
The money will be distributed through the Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention, which Evers created earlier this year after a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison that killed two people and injured six others last December. The office is part of his “Year of the Kid” effort to focus state policy on children’s safety and well-being.
