GaDOE released a first-of-its-kind state resource designed to strengthen school safety by connecting student support systems with behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM). This new resource was developed by GaDOE’s Office of Whole Child Supports in partnership with the United States Secret Service – National Threat Assessment Center (USSS-NTAC), the National Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and with input from the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS). The guide gives schools a practical roadmap to integrate Georgia’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports with existing behavioral threat assessment and management processes trained by GEMA/HS.
