Student Threat Assessment

In partnership with public mental health, law enforcement, and juvenile justice agencies, the Safe Schools and Healthy Students Program provides Student Threat Assessment services to all participating rural school districts in Marion and Polk Counties and all participating districts in Yamhill County.  Services provided include the following:  

• Initial and annual update training to key staff in schools regarding the "level one" in-building threat screening process of students or situations of concern
• Consultation to school teams
• Coordination of “level two” threat assessments in which a trained three-member multi-disciplinary team comes to a school site, assesses risk, and assists in management and intervention planning
• Preparation of timely written threat assessment summaries following the level two assessment process
• Providing an education representative on two multi-agency student threat assessment teams that review “level two” assessments, that provide ongoing support for difficult cases, and that can provide a direct pathway to community services, especially for students deemed at high risk
