Through this funding, NWRESD will implement a regional school safety initiative aimed at immediately responding to high-risk threats of violence across 20 school districts serving over 98,000 students in northwest Oregon. Key deliverables include developing and supporting a multidisciplinary Regional Behavioral Safety Assessment Team, comprised of representatives from schools, mental health, law enforcement, and social services. The team will provide expertise in behavioral safety assessments following evidence-based protocols. NWRESD will also hire specialists to provide training, technical assistance, and continuous improvement activities to increase the capacity of school districts and community partners to effectively apply behavioral assessment protocols through an equity lens. The goal of these efforts is to improve school security in alignment with the objectives of the STOP School Violence Program.
