Charter schools are also now expressly required to follow the threat assessment procedures implemented by its authorizing school district or implement its own threat assessment procedure that complies with the requirements of the School Safety Drill Act. During the webinar, we review the requirements and best practices for developing and implementing a threat assessment procedure, including the requirements for school districts under the Illinois School Safety Drill Act for such procedures.
