A Texas-Sized Approach to Behavioral Threat Assessment: How One District Maximized Solutions to Meet Legislative Requirements

One of the biggest challenges to an effective threat detection and prevention program is ensuring that all the various components of your program work together. The State of Texas has outlined various legislative requirements for districts to create uniformity and fidelity across the state related to threat assessment. These requirements include how a team is defined; how these teams are to serve campuses; specific procedures for how threats should be assessed and responded to; records retention, parental involvement, and training, among others.
