THREAT ASSESSMENT
The WHSD has established a threat assessment team for each school in our district and a district-wide team. The purpose of these teams represent the Board's commitment to protecting the health, safety and the welfare of its students and the school community and providing the resources and support to address identified student needs. The Board has adopted a Threat Assessment policy (236.1) to address student behavior that may indicate a threat to the safety of a student, others students, school employees, school facilities, the community and others.
