SUBJECT:
Comprehensive Threat Assessment (CSTAG) Updates and Information
Jordan School District has been invited to participate in a longitudinal study with the University of Virginia and Dewey Cornell. The purpose of this study is to gather data regarding the outcomes for students who have made threats in schools. Comprehensive School Threat Assessment is designed to help all students solve problems that are initially communicated as a threat of violence. We will be gathering data for each threat assessment done in our schools, and following up with additional data as we track the outcomes for those students over the course of a couple years.
Because documentation is vital to gathering the data requested for the study, and because it is best practice, we have several updates to assist with this.
Please see the memo below for the updates.
