School Threat Assessment Framework

The School Threat Assessment Framework is a systematic approach used by schools to identify and address behaviors or situations that may indicate a student could pose a risk of violence. It involves trained teams evaluating concerns—such as threatening language, unusual behavior, or social media posts—using evidence-based methods. The goal is to understand the student's needs, intervene early, and connect them with appropriate support or intervention. This proactive process helps create a safer school environment by preventing potential violence while respecting students' rights and privacy.
