MADISON, Wis. — State Rep. Jeff Mursau, R-Crivitz, attended a school safety grant announcement in Green Bay Tuesday, where three local school districts were awarded School Safety grants from the Department of Justice.

It was announced by the DOJ that Niagara School District received $42,177, Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District received $40,073, and the Menominee Indian School District received $55,817 in grant funds.

“It was great to be there and see three more great school districts from the area receive these grants,” said Mursau.

The School Safety Grant Program was a product of last session’s bill, 2017 Act 143. The program, which is administered by the Office of School Safety at the DOJ, is set to award a total of $100 million in grant funds to schools state-wide to enhance school safety and preparedness.
