Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to annually award a
grant to a cooperative educational service agency to support a collaborative project
between DPI and CESAs that provides training and technical assistance to school
districts related to prevention and intervention programs for alcohol, tobacco and
other drug abuse, mental health programs, and programs to promote school safety.
This collaborative project is known as the Wisconsin Safe and Healthy Schools
Center or the WISH Center. Under the bill, the CESA that receives the grant must
use the money to support the ongoing operations of the WISH Center and, if money
is available, to expand the WISH Center's offerings to include training and technical
assistance related to general wellness.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
