Steve Fernan from DPI to speak at Taylor County Interagency Communications Committee

Steve Fernan from DPI will be the guest speaker at the Taylor County Interagency Communications Committee meeting on March 15. He will update us on Act 309.

In May 2010, Wisconsin passed Act 309 which mandates that schools take some action on separate and distinct school safety issues: 1. Anti-bullying efforts 2. School safety drills 3. School safety plans and 4. The sharing of information between schools, law enforcement etc. While certain requirements in the law took effect immediately, schools were given up to three years to respond to the other sections. Nearly two years into the law, with only a year or so remaining to complete the required tasks, many schools find themselves unprepared. Steve Fernan, who has followed this law from the start, will review the entire Act, and explain where schools should be in this process and how to finish on time.
