Threat Assessment and Reporting Resources for K-12 Schools
A threat assessment and reporting system can prevent targeted school violence and enhance overall student and school safety. These programs allow school officials to learn about and identify potential threats or safety concerns, assess the risk associated with these threats, and develop and implement actions to intervene before a crisis escalates. Find out how your school can create or enhance a threat assessment and reporting program using SchoolSafety.gov’s new issue brief.
