Bill > SB1238

This bill authorizes Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to establish a Threat Assessment Team (TAT) to develop comprehensive, intervention-based approaches to prevent violence, manage reports of potential threats, and create a safe, supportive, and effective school environment. The TAT must include LEA and law enforcement personnel, and may include other stakeholders such as juvenile services and mental health providers. The TAT is responsible for training, conducting threat assessments, providing guidance, establishing reporting procedures, and referring individuals to support services. The bill also outlines confidentiality and liability protections for the TAT and information shared with it.
