  • Governor Walker Calls Special Session on School Safety On
    Governor Walker Calls Special Session on School Safety On Thursday, March 15th, Governor Walker called on state lawmakers to hold a special session at the Capitol to work on proposed school safety measures. The Governor is calling for $100 million to fund the plan. It includes: Establishing the Office of School Safety under the Wisconsin Department of Justice Creating a $100 million School Safety Grant Program under the Office of School Safety Requiring Mandatory Reporting for any threats of school violence Amending bullying statute to include prompt parental notification Incorporate Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) into training programs Strengthening school safety plan requirements Encouraging cooperation with local law enforcement The call for special session took place while the 2017-2018 legislative session is winding down. The Senate has indicated it will have one more day of regular session and it is rumored the Assembly will do the same. Zipperer Appointed to PSC Governor Scott Walker’s Chief of Staff, Rich Zipperer, is leaving the Governor’s Office to take up a position as Commissioner at the Public Service Commission. Zipperer will fill the vacant position at the PSC left by former PSC Chairwoman Ellen Nowak, who was recently appointed to Secretary at the Department of Administration. Zipperer served as Walker’s chief of staff since 2015. Prior to that, he served in the State Assembly from 2007 to 2011 and served in the State Senate from 2011-2012. In 2011, he resigned from his Senate seat when he was hired as deputy chief of staff in the Governor’s Office.
