In these crazy times, this makes a lot of sense.
The U.S. Secret Service is urging U.S. schools to establish teams that can assess threats and prevent shootings such as the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that left 17 people dead, USA Today reports.
The Secret Service released a report Thursday offering schools guidance on spotting suspicious behavior and figuring out when and how to intervene, the paper writes. The report was prepared by the National Threat Assessment Center in an effort launched after the Feb. 14 Parkland shooting.
The report recommends the creation of “threat teams” comprised of teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, mental health authorities and law enforcement to manage central reporting systems within the schools.
