IMPORTANT Information from WCRIS about the Annual Safety Report due on January 1
A Message from WCRIS:
Your school’s annual safety submission is due to the Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of School Safety (OSS) on January 1. This is required of all private schools, regardless of your participation in the choice programs or past receipt of school safety grants. You can find more information on what’s required here.
To submit your documents to the state, you must use a unique ShareFile login that may have been created with a previous administrator’s information. We recommend that you check your access to the ShareFile now, and contact the OSS if you cannot locate it.
Be aware that January 1 is not only a holiday, but also a Sunday this year.
This fall, you may have been notified that your school was not in compliance and consequently submitted missing documents. That was for 2022. Regardless of any previous submissions, a new upload of all documents is required for 2023 from your school by January 1.
Compliance with this law is not only important in maintaining a safe school environment, but on-time, completed submissions make your school eligible for future state safety funding in an emergency.
We recommend contacting the OSS with specific questions about your safety submission. After that, if you have further questions or concerns, please contact WCRIS. We are here to serve.
