Threat - A threat is a communication or behavior that indicates an individual poses a danger to the safety of school staff or students through acts of violence or other behavior that would cause harm to self or others. The threat may be expressed or communicated behaviorally, orally, visually, in writing, electronically, or through any other means. 

Credible threat - A credible threat means that a threat was made with the intent and the apparent ability to carry out the threat. 

Non-credible threat - After an investigation, law enforcement deems a threat non-credible when through the course of the investigation, they find no legitimacy of the threat. All threats are considered credible until we can reasonably articulate otherwise.

• Threats Reported: Incidents are promptly reported to school administration, district administration, or local emergency personnel.
• Immediate Police Notification: Law enforcement is notified immediately by building or district administration.
• Police Response: Law enforcement conducts a thorough investigation with assistance from school and District administrators.
• Credibility Assessment: The threat is assessed for credibility by police, school, and District administrators determining whether it is credible or non-credible.
• Communication Release: The District releases parent and staff communication as soon as the status (SECURE, HOLD, etc.) of the school changes. 
• Ongoing Updates During Active Investigation: Law enforcement provides updates to district administrators as the investigation continues. The District will continue to pass on those updates to parents and staff as necessary.

The District must uphold the integrity of the investigation by refraining from communicating information which may compromise the active investigation. 

Why isn’t the juvenile/student involved in the threat named or consequences shared? Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), all juveniles/students have a right to privacy. There are very clear laws and guidelines regarding what information schools may share internally with faculty and staff, what information may be shared with law enforcement or any outside agencies, and what information may be shared with the community.

The District is monitored by security cameras and armed personnel.

Each building also has an access control buzzer system, which keeps all outside doors locked until a visitor is seen and given entry.
