iv Threat Assessment Inquiry-District 77
"This tool is for use by the School-based Threat Assessment Team to aid in the determination of recommendations
to the Principal for students who may pose a potential threat to themselves or others. A minimum level of team
‘members would include Prineipal/ or Assistant Principal, Schoo! Psychologist, Schoo| Counselor, and a teacher
with significant knowledge about the student (i.e. homeroom teacher or case manager)
This tool is to be used by trained Threat Assessment Team members.
There is no exact method to determine a student’s violent ideation or tendencies. One or more of these warning
signs may be displayed before a person becomes violent, but does not necessarily indicate that an individual will
become violent. Use this tool to help guide your screening process and intervention recommendations. It is
important to attain multiple sources of information to fully complete the screening, Ifat all possible, interviews
should include the student making the threat, one or more teachers who know the student, and parents of the
student,
