flag A student’s threat in 2023 led to a coordinated, non-punitive intervention in New York, focusing on mental health and bullying prevention.

flag In February 2023, a student’s threat on a school bus in Madison County, New York, prompted a coordinated response from a 106-member safety team formed under a state mandate following the 2022 Buffalo shooting. flag Though no crime was committed, the team—comprising law enforcement, educators, mental health providers, and community leaders—assessed the student’s high-risk profile, secured firearms with trigger locks, and avoided expulsion. flag Instead, they focused on addressing underlying issues like severe bullying and mental health struggles, offering remote learning and confronting the perpetrators. flag The intervention emphasized proactive prevention over reactive punishment, highlighting the need for community-wide action to stop school violence before it occurs.
