COPS Grant
The School District of Omro is honored and excited to announce they are being awarded $500,000 as part of the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant. “The COPS Office of Community School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) is a competitive award program designed to provide funding to improve security at schools and on school grounds in the grantee’s jurisdiction through evidence-based school safety programs” (US Department of Justice: “COPS Fact Sheet” October, 2023).
Interesting Facts:
~ Omro is one of the 206 selected applications from the 1,022 submitted
~ Omro was one of a select few to receive the full $500,000, which is the largest grant awarded of the eight recipients in the state of Wisconsin

There is no cost for students to participate in Bike Shoppe. It is open to all middle school students (grades 6-8).
