Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Team
In accordance with TEC §37.115, threat assessments are required when a student engages in harmful or threatening behavior. To ensure compliance, Arlington ISD has established a district-level Multidisciplinary Team in partnership with the Arlington Police Department through its School Violence Prevention Program.
This collaborative team supports campuses in the identification, assessment, and intervention of students who meet the criteria outlined in the law.
Additional information about the threat assessment process can be found in the Student Code of Conduct.

National Threat Evaluation and Reporting
