Keeping IEA Safe: Threat Assessment Protocol

Your site applies IEA brand colors and fonts on its own, so the page should not carry its own colors. IEA's website guide (igniteutah.org/llms.txt) says color or style code gets stripped when you save. Once the page is pasted in, the site automatically adds: - Montserrat headings and Open Sans body text, in charcoal; - a divider and gold underline under each section heading; - a gold side bar on subheadings; - the "Jump to a section" links as pill buttons; - a gold highlight box for the 911 notice; - "Back to top" buttons with an up arrow. The page title and summary are plain-text fields, so they take the site's styling too. To make the brand show more, here's a version that uses the site's approved layout pieces. It adds a gold "Call the Front Office" button and puts the reporting options and commitments in card grids: ```html

At Ignite Entrepreneurship Academy, every student deserves to feel safe, known, and supported. When someone says or does something that sounds like a threat, IEA uses a process called threat assessment to understand what is happening and help everyone involved.

What Is a Threat Assessment?

A threat assessment is a careful, caring look at a worrying statement or behavior. Most concerns turn out to be a misunderstanding, a moment of frustration, or a joke that went too far. These are usually resolved quickly with a conversation.

When a concern is more serious, our team works with the student and family on a plan that keeps everyone safe and gets the student the support they need.

IEA uses the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG), a research-based model used by schools across Utah. Utah State Board of Education rules require every school to use an evidence-based threat assessment process.
