This funding was made available\r\nthrough the DOJ's Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing (STOP) School\r\nViolence Program and Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention\r\n(OJJDP). Our children should be able to receive a quality education, whether physically in the classroom or learning remotely, without the fear of violence. This funding will provide our law enforcement and the WV ICAC Task Force with the support they need to keep our students safe in person and on the Internet. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for funding that helps our students learn safely, no matter where they are,said Senator Manchin.   Protecting our children is\r\nof the upmost priority, whether that be in school, or while they are online, said\r\nSenator Capito. It is important that we give our law enforcement agencies\r\nthe tools they need to provide service to our communities, support the\r\nnecessary task forces, and keep our children and families safe and secure.\r\nAdditionally, this funding will support and train our school staff and faculty\r\nWest Virginia, helping them combat challenges that arise in the classroom. It\r\nis great to see our state partner with the DOJ in order to protect our\r\nwonderful children in the Mountain State.
