School Safety
Hortonville Area School District Received $122,000 in Wisconsin Department of Justice School Safety Grant Funds – August 2018
Hortonville Area School District officials received $122,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Justice School Safety grant for safety training services, equipment, and materials. HASD Safety team will purchase TECIP/TIC protocol training services and safety equipment to address areas of need and improve emergency response. According to FEMA National Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines, “resources are personnel and major items of equipment, supplies, and facilities available or potentially available for assignment to incident operations and for which status is maintained.” To ensure effective and timely execution of CRISIS plans, staff must be proficient in emergency response procedures. Trained responders, improved surveillance, and external communication are crucial to a successful response and to community relations. We must be prepared to coordinate with response partners from all levels of government and the private sector.

Akin Field has been a staple of the Hortonville community for many years. Children of all ages and their families gather at the field to play, team build and celebrate. In recent years, the facility was no longer able to meet all the needs of students in the Hortonville Area School District and community members. A team of HASD representatives and community members identified facility concerns and quickly established "Project Polar Pride", a fundraising campaign to renovate Akin Field. Read more.
