Teachers in School District 8 will be learning the Threat Risk Assessment Protocol this fall as part of a province wide initiative. The program trains teachers on identifying warning signs for violent behaviour in students and what to do if there is a legitimate threat.  Director of Education for District 8 Bev MacDonald tells CHSJ News school administrators have already been trained.

She says students will also receive information on the program in the form of handouts.
