Leander ISD packet requires threat-assessment teams and allows reporter confidentiality
Summary
FFB(LOCAL) text requires a multidisciplinary threat assessment and safe/supportive team on each campus, mandates training and reporting to TEA, and lets employees who report potential threats elect to keep their identities confidential under SB 1720.
FFB(LOCAL) in the agenda materials requires each campus to have a multidisciplinary threat assessment and safe and supportive team appointed by the Superintendent. The teams must complete training provided by an approved provider and implement processes for individualized threat assessments, intervention, monitoring strategies, and referrals to mental-health or special education evaluations where appropriate.
The policy also requires each campus to establish procedures allowing students to report concerning behavior and allows a District employee who reports a potential threat to elect to keep their identity confidential — the packet cites SB 1720 as the authority allowing employee confidentiality from public disclosure except where necessary for investigation. The threat-assessment team must report serious-risk determinations immediately to the Superintendent and coordinate with law enforcement as needed.
Agenda language states the teams will provide reports to the Texas Education Agency as required by law. The packet presents the policy as an action item for Board consideration; it does not record Board discussion or a final vote in the provided materials.
