4h agoGov. Phil Murphy has signed a law requiring
public schools in New Jersey to develop threat assessment teams.
The law
requires both public and charter schools to create a threat assessment team to
help identify students who may be at risk for engaging in violence.
The teams will include a school counselor, teacher, administrator, resource
officer and safety specialist.
Guidelines for the teams will
be developed by the New Jersey Department of Education in consultation with
state law enforcement agencies and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security
and Preparedness.
It comes in response to the many tragic events that have unfolded
at schools recently, often at the hands of fellow students.
Lawmakers
say guidelines for the teams will be developed by state agencies and law enforcement.
The law will take effect
immediately for the 2022-2023 school year.
