On June 13th & June 14th, 2024 at Columbia Gorge Education Service District, a two-day training will be held with Alise Mnati from John Van Dreal Consulting. The training will focus on building and maintaining a sustainable, community-based preventive behavioral threat assessment system composed of Site-Based Level 1 Teams and a Community-Based Level 2 Teams.

This opportunity is for all Level 1 Team members (Building Administrators, Behavioral Specialists, School Counselors, Technology Staff, District Administrators/Directors) and all Level 2 Community Team members (Law Enforcement, ODHS, OYA, Juvenile Department, Mental Health Practitioners, DA's Office/Victims Advocate). Both Level 1 & Level 2 teams are encouraged to attend and participate in BOTH training days.

This training covers the Salem-Keizer Comprehensive System for Threat Assessment & Management in the Schools model, originally created by John Van Dreal, of which North Wasco currently uses. This training might be a refresher for some staff, while a new training for others. Our trainer, Ms. Mnati, highly recommends that both Level 1 and Level 2 team members attending both days of training so there is an understanding of both processes, assessments used and consistency in language.
