In the interest of creating the safest environment possible for all our students and staff, Lincoln Public Schools has worked with national experts to further develop our guidelines and protocol for threat assessment: a planned, proactive and strategic response to reported issues of concern in the school district \u2013 with a focus on prevention.<\/p>

Threat assessment \u2013 only one of the tools LPS uses for school district safety \u2013 is a program that involves progressive, forward thinking about safety and security. As opposed to dealing with a crisis at hand, threat assessment aims at preventing situations from happening. This is cutting-edge, planned and thoughtful response to potentially threatening situations.<\/p>

This school year we are raising awareness, and providing additional education and training to empower our staff, students and families to better identify and report concerning behaviors and incidents that may need further assessment. We are empowering our community and our school district. We all have the power to call for help \u2013 help someone cope \u2013 not be afraid \u2013 help someone be safe.<\/p>

We are encouraging our staff, students and families to report any concerning behavior that raises suspicion or concern \u2013 in students, staff or community members \u2013 to a caring adult at your student\u2019s school. Concerning behavior might include warning signs such as: stalking, hostile or negative behavior that elicits fear or discomfort \u2013 domestic violence \u2013 sighting of a weapon, rumor of a weapon \u2013 disturbed or unusual behavior \u2013 suicide threats \u2013 threatening or intimidating contact or communications.<\/p>

LPS is a compassionate school district that is approaching this new program with an emphasis on dignity and respect. It takes all of us working together to keep us safe. This program is about caring for one another \u2013 providing a more formalized process that ensures that concerning threats are reviewed by a district-wide, multidisciplinary team. That team, in turn, will work with LPS officials and community partners to evaluate concerns and develop case-specific intervention and management strategies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The goal of the Threat Assessment Process\u00a0is to provide an integrated and coordinated process for identifying and responding to students, staff and other individuals who may be at risk of harming themselves or others \u2013 knowing that promoting and creating a safe and secure environment in our school district helps create the most appropriate foundation for enhancing student learning and student success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
