[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re in FCPS, you would report it to the principal. A risk assessment would be completed by a member of the school support team (psychologist, counselor or social worker) with an administrator present because it was a threat to another person (versus a threat to self). There is a protocol with very specific questions to help determine the level of seriousness of the threat. They then follow through with contacting parents, discipline, etc. [/quote]

Thanks. What happens after this step? Assuming if the independent evaluation comes back clear the student returns to class.

If the student is allowed back, how do they deal with the fallout? Who knows how the student will react to being disciplined. Other students report anger issues in class. These kids are about to go through a time of life when big feelings only get bigger. Would you keep your child at the school for the rest of their education if the other kid was staying?[/quote]

This is what you care about?

Ethan Crumbley was doing the exact same thing.  REPORT IT NOW.  [/quote]

Not sure what you mean. It has been reported. If you mean police, what would they even do?[/quote]

Reported where, I didn't see the OP mention reporting it.

I would report first to the principal (not teacher) and the school guidance counselor if they have one.  If I didn't get an immediate response that assessments were being done, I'd go to the police.

OP — principal is the one who informed us. Assessment of the child is being done. What is unclear is what happens if the child is allowed to come back after this. What are we supposed to do, watch and wait? It doesn’t feel safe for them to have access to the child who was threatened.[/quote]

I would get a detailed report from the principal on the actions they are taking.  I would also demand (no matter what the assessment shows) that the individual be moved to another class (not your child).  Additionally, I would ask for a safety plan that shows how the individual is being monitored by the school until the end of the year.  Last, I would want to know exactly how this individual is being kept away from my child during school hours.[/quote]

This is helpful, thanks. My concern is with how this would be enforced over the years. My child already avoids after school activities if they know that child will be there (this is already happening prior to latest incident).[/quote]
