The Wisconsin Baby FAST Initiative has received a one-year grant from the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to try the new Baby FAST program at 10 sites in Wisconsin. Racine and about a dozen other communities have made applications to be test sites, and decisions on the sites are expected to be made by the end of October. FAST stands for Families and Schools Together. It was developed in 1988 by Lynn McDonald of the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
