(Awarded June 2024) - $300,000.00

The Regional Office of Education used Accelerator Award funding to establish a regional safety team and create a standard in-person safety curriculum for schools. This initiative also provides training in trauma-informed care and restorative practices while supporting crisis planning, threat assessment, and trauma response.

We serve all public districts and nonpublic schools in the region, reaching more than 45,000 students. This grant allows every school and/or district in Winnebago County to participate in comprehensive school safety efforts—including physical safety assessments, professional development, and crisis planning.
