Platte County school district updating crisis plan and administrative regulations after recent threat
Summary
District staff said the crisis plan, last developed in 2016, is being updated with input from principals and the sheriff; the board was told building teams already have CSTAG threat‑assessment training and staff plan to bring a regulation to the board in March.
District staff told the Platte County school board that the district’s crisis plan and related administrative regulations are being updated in light of a recent threat and that principals and law‑enforcement partners will be involved in drafting the final regulation.
A staff member said the district’s crisis plan has not been updated since 2016 and that a draft administrative regulation has been prepared and reviewed with the administrative team. "We walked through that. I put a draft together into the regulation. We walked together with our administrative team today and they gave me some feedback," the staff member said. The staff member added they will meet with the sheriff before the next board meeting to confirm law‑enforcement response and coordination.
Board members asked whether sharing details of the plan publicly could create security risks. One member asked, "Is that all public? Because sometimes if you have too much out in public, if somebody wants a bomb threat, they can say, here's what Wheatland does." The staff member said the team reviewed that concern and believes the draft does not disclose operational details that would create an advantage for someone planning harm.
Staff also noted the district uses CSTAG threat‑assessment training for building teams and intends to bring the administrative regulation to the board (targeted for March) after collecting sheriff input. The board agreed to continue work on the crisis plan and to review the draft regulation when staff return with the sheriff’s feedback.
What happens next: staff will meet with the sheriff, refine the administrative regulation, and present it to the board as a regulation for consideration and public review.
