GCS leaders’ approach to threats of violence, including student written or verbal threats

Violence Risk Threat Assessment (VRTA): Ask students, parents, teachers, staff, & community members if they are knowledgeable of VRTA? 

Is VRTA implemented with accountability in their schools? (see below)

*Violence Risk Threat Assessment (VRTA) Policy and Procedures: process in which school administrator, law enforcement, mental health counselor, and teacher(s)/ employee(s) involved TOGETHER investigate, examine, evaluate and report the threat


*VA Code 18.2-60: Legislation created/passed by VA Teacher Association and VA legislators AFTER the VA Tech massacre: at school or school activities, oral threats of bodily harm are a Misdemeanor 1; written threats of bodily harm are a Felony 6.

VA Code 18.2-60: what is similar & accountable for NC students, families, teachers, staff, & communities?

At your child’s school, what proactive school safety procedures are known by students, families and school staff?

Who is held accountable that these school safety procedures are implemented with accountability for your child and school staff?

Violence Risk Threat Assessment & Code 18.2-60 implemented with accountability in some NC schools. 
Are they accountable in your school?
