Build a team of people to monitor the school and its students. Define unacceptable and concerning behaviors. Have a hub where people can report suspicious activity. Determine when the police should be involved. These are the first steps of an eight-part plan released by the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center on Thursday and designed to protect schools from potential attacks. |
