Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Thursday announced a $100 million plan for the state to improve school safety in the wake of last month's shooting at a Florida high school.

The proposal would create a state school safety office to help schools and law enforcement develop school safety plans and would provide $100 million in taxpayer grants to improve building security, training and school resource officers in schools.

“No child, parent, or teacher should ever have to feel unsafe in school,” Walker said in a statement. “This package of bills focuses on ways we can help schools be safe, just like we did at the federal level ensuring that every airport and airplane were safe after 9/11."

Walker is also proposing that teachers and school officials be required under law to report threats of school violence, in keeping with guidelines for reporting suspected child abuse, and to report bullying incidents to parents within 48 hours.

The governor said state GOP representatives support the legislation, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Walker’s proposal comes the day after students in Wisconsin and across the country walked out of schools to protest gun violence.

In the month since the Florida shooting, students have been leading the charge for stricter gun laws. GOP lawmakers have focused their response to the shooting on enhancing school safety.

Walker's proposal does not propose reforms to the state's gun laws.

Walker has long been a strong defender of the Second Amendment. After the Charleston, S.C., shooting at a black church in 2015, Walker signed into law two bills to expand gun rights in the state.

He also signed a bill late last year getting rid of age limits for participation in a mentored hunt, allowing thousands of hunting licenses to be issued to children under the age of 9. At least 10 hunting licenses went to infants less than a year old in the first weeks of the new law.
