An evidence-based program, the Virginia Student Threat Assessment Guidelines gives districts a step-by-step method for evaluating the likelihood and severity of potential violence against their community. It also provides safe, structured ways of addressing the threat, once it has been assessed. It emphasizes early attention to bullying and student conflict before those behaviors escalate, paired with a flexible, problem-solving approach.
