Harassment

Threat Assesment

Schools shall establish a threat assessment team and develop procedures for assessing and intervening with students whose behavior may indicate a threat to the safety of the student, other students, school employees, school facilities, the community and others. Schools are equipped with door lock systems to support school safety.

The threat assessment team will utilize a fact-based process for the assessment of and intervention with students whose behaviors may indicate a threat to self, persons, or property.

The threat assessment team will utilize screening tools to better determine if there are adverse experiences, social emotional needs, and/or school climate indicators and utilize these results in collaboration with appropriate staff to best provide services to students via a referral system as per policy.
