OSHKOSH, Wis. (WBAY) - Evers administration officials are urging lawmakers to help fund the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety, or OSS.

Attorney General Josh Kaul spoke at Oshkosh West High School on Wednesday, advocating for those funds after the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee said it would not offer extra resources to the OSS.

Kaul says the office is a critical resource for students and school staff across the state.

“We’ve received over 100 tips regarding concerns about planned school attacks,” the attorney general said. “If even in one of those cases that work has stopped a school attack from happening ,that makes this program incredibly worthwhile for the safety of students in Wisconsin.
