Helping Illinois Schools Meet Behavioral Threat Assessment Requirements
Behavioral Threat Assessment Management Solutions for Safer Schools
Supporting Your Compliance with Illinois Law
Illinois school districts are required to implement Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) procedures. Each district must establish a multidisciplinary team that includes at least one law enforcement official and representatives trained in student mental and behavioral health. Teams must file their procedures and membership lists annually with local law enforcement and their regional office of education. PCG supports Illinois districts with the tools, training, and expert guidance needed to meet state mandates and strengthen school safety practices.
