IL State Law (105 IL 128/45 sec. 45) now requires every school to have a threat assessment team established and threat assessment procedures developed and implemented. This Academy will provide an overview of the new legal requirements as well as provide you with training that is considered best practice by the US Dept of Education and the US Secret Service. Participants will be able to assess the severity of threats, analyze the safety of students and staff, and develop a plan of action to protect them. Valuable resources, including documentation, scripted protocols as well as guidance for decision making for students with IEPs, 504, and/or BIP plans and SB100 compliance are included in this course.

Objectives:

*Use scripted protocols to handle situations with fidelity, & establish a plan for the reintegration of the student (s) into the school environment.
