Ohio School Safety Center Releases Threat Assessment Resources and Model Policy

The Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) has partnered with the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Attorney General's Office to develop resources and a model threat assessment policy for schools to use in their emergency management plans.

HB 123 requires each school building administrator to incorporate a school threat assessment plan and protocol for their building’s threat assessment team. Schools may adopt the model policy or they may use the model policy as a guideline to create their own.

These resources and the model policy may be found on the OSSC webpage here. Schools may also reach out to the OSSC at [email protected] to request a copy of the model policy.
