Threat Assessment Teams
Act 18 of 2019 amended the Public School Code of 1949 by adding Article XIII-E, Threat Assessment. Among its provisions, Article XIII-E requires the establishment of threat assessment teams for all school entities in Pennsylvania and tasks the School Safety and Security Committee (SSSC) to research, develop and provide free threat assessment guidelines, training and informational materials, as well as model procedures and guidelines for school entities.
The North Allegheny School District has established a Threat Assessment Team in each school building. Threat Assessment Teams are a multidisciplinary group of individuals identified by the building administrator responsible for the assessment of and intervention with students whose behavior may indicate a threat to the safety of the student, other students, school employees, school facilities, the community, or others. Members of the team may include administrators, school counselors, teachers and school psychologists. All teams have been trained on the district protocols to make sure that potential threats are investigated and documented.
