OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s school security director wants districts to improve security by identifying and reporting potential attackers before they strike.

Jolene Palmer is recommending a set of guidelines that call for school districts to use “behavioral threat assessments” standards to identify and report suspicion or concern.

Palmer says she will use the standards to assess the level of security in each of the state’s 1,130 public schools. She has an Aug. 31, 2017, deadline to conduct the assessment.

Officials from several Omaha metro area school districts say they already have processes to identify threats, but those processes are likely to become more formalized in years to come.

But some education leaders, like state school board member Glen Flint, are concerned about the possibility for schools to misidentify potential threats.
