Threat assessment management plan: Student Threat Assessment Management Plan Template

After an assessment, NTAC's guidance is that every student who comes to the team's attention needs an individualized management plan, and that the plan stays in place "until the Team is no longer concerned about the student or the risk for violence." Use this template to record that plan, assign owners, and track progress. Pair it with the Threat Assessment Worksheet.

If a student is thinking about or planning violence, notify law enforcement immediately. NTAC lists this as the first element of management.

Actions

NTAC's basic elements of management are to notify law enforcement when needed; protect potential targets; create a situation less prone to violence; remove or redirect the motive; and reduce the effect of stressors. Use the rows that apply.

Element	Action	Owner	Start	Status
Law enforcement (if the student is thinking about or planning violence)
Safety of potential targets: security changes, guidance to targets
Less prone to violence: weapons access blocked by family or law enforcement; prosocial connections
Motive: address the grievance (e.g., bullying intervention, conflict mediation)
Stressors: supports for setbacks and losses
Supports: counseling, mental health care, mentoring, tutoring, peer support, community services
Trusted adult: who checks in, how often
Monitoring: what the team watches for, and how
Other

If the student is removed from school

NTAC cautions that removing a student "does not eliminate the risk," and that suspended or expelled students can become isolated from supportive adults and peers.
