District reports dozens of threat assessments and continued use of anonymous reporting tool
Summary
Staff said the district logged an estimated 50–60 behavioral threat assessments last year, has integrated the anonymous "Stop It" reporting tool with human review and referral to law enforcement when necessary, and is transitioning threat-assessment documentation into Infinite Campus' BTAM module.
District staff briefed the board on behavioral threat-assessment practice and the district's anonymous reporting workflow.
Jenny Pershinger described the district's use of the Stop It anonymous reporting tool, which allows anyone to submit a report that is reviewed by a human operator who triages and, when warranted, notifies law enforcement. "There's a person who reviews those and makes a determination of just how serious a report it is and what needs to happen afterwards," she said.
Staff answered a board question about totals for formal threat assessments. John Skinner estimated the district had "around between 50 and 60 threat assessments total for the school year," noting additional contacts and meetings that may not have resulted in a full assessment.
The district has moved to a BTAM module in Infinite Campus for documenting behavioral threat assessments; staff completed initial training on July 21, 2026. The board discussed technology testing during summer intruder drills and how new staff will be trained before the school year starts.
No formal policies were adopted at this meeting; staff said they will continue to train administrators on BTAM, document drill results, and coordinate with the SRO unit commander and law-enforcement partners.
