Family Treatment Program

To ensure wellness, learning, and physical and psychological safety across the McAllen ISD community.

The SSSP is a systemic and coordinated multitiered support system that addresses school climate, the social and emotional domain, and behavioral and mental health and wellness; it includes collaboration with community, county, and state organizations; conducting behavioral threat assessments; and the implementation of a multi-hazard approach to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from crisis situations.

To promote the safety and well-being of the members of the McAllen ISD community, the Safe and Supportive School Program Team is tasked with reviewing threat reports, conducting threat assessments, and developing interventions to support individuals who pose threats and the targets of such threats.

The threat assessment process is designed to preserve a safe school environment that promotes the physical and psychological safety of all members of the school community.

The TEA has coordinated with the Texas School Safety Center to develop guidance and resources to establish a comprehensive threat assessment model.
