(Ted Ehlen, WRN) The Wisconsin Department of Justice will offer school safety training to all Wisconsin schools.

The DOJ says the training, which will be led by the Office of School Safety, will help school staff to put a plan in place for school crises and get kids back to their parents and guardians following an event.

Attorney General Josh Kaul calls the training part of an ongoing, proactive effort to give schools the tools they need to keep kids safe.  The justice department adds the training, which can be used in a range of situations, will reduce stress during a crisis.

More than $2 million in federal grants and more than $1.8 million from the American Rescue Plan Act has been set aside to fund the training.
