FW: [Cobo] FW: Roundtable discussion on school violence

[Mauck, Sheri]

Business Officers:  Please disregard the information sent previously on
the invitation to the roundtable discussion.  

 

Each university president will participate and the Council's are asked
to send only one representative.  I'm sorry for the confusion with this
communication has posed, yet the venue prescribes a limited number of
participants and the Presidents have already been invited to attend.  

 

Please let me know if you have questions.

OVERVIEW OF BREAK OUT SESSIONS

 

Purpose:  To hear from state and local officials, educators, mental
health experts, and state and local law enforcement about states' past
experiences and current policies that are implicated by campus violence
and persons with mental illness.  We hope to identify practices that
have worked, obstacles that exist, and possible solutions to barriers in
three issue areas:  

*	prevention and treatment; 
*	information sharing; and 
*	crisis response and recovery.

 

Structure:  Three breakout groups:

 

#1 - Health/Mental Health Perspectives

*        Identifying students who pose a risk; Risk/threat assessment;
Referring/treating students with mental health/behavioral issues;
Emergency preparedness and response planning.

*        Policy about and practical experiences with information sharing
by mental health and health care professionals with school, law
enforcement, family; HIPAA Privacy Rule.

*        Mental health supportive services immediately following a
violent school incident and longer term.

 

#2 - Education Perspectives

*        Identifying students who pose a risk; Risk/threat assessment;
Referring/treating students with mental health/behavioral issues; peer
support; Emergency preparedness and response planning.

*        Policy about and practical experiences with information sharing
by school officials (including college disciplinary hearing boards) with
mental health, law enforcement, family, and other students; FERPA.

*        Use of technology to send emergency alerts and security
notices, facilitate communication during emergency.  Safeguards against
false alerts and backup plans.

#3 - Security/Law Enforcement Perspectives

*        Risk/threat assessment; Safety and security interventions.  

*        Policy about and experiences with sharing information about
disqualifying mental health history to NICS for background check
purposes.
