Trauma-Informed Care Grant: The Oconomowoc Area School District partnered with Family Service of Waukesha to receive a grant from the Oconomowoc Area Foundation to provide training and consultation on trauma-informed care to students, staff, and families.

Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse Grant: The district received $25,000 from the state of Wisconsin for prevention and intervention around drug and alcohol use. The grant will provide student assistance groups at both intermediate and high school levels for recovery, concerned others, awareness, prevention, and events that trigger use such as grief/loss or trauma.

Technology Grant: The department received $500 from the CSC Learning Corporation to allow 10 students access to a program for second language learners to practice English proficiency. Three staff members will be trained to use the program with our students. This replaces Rosetta Stone as an independent language learning program.
