Behavior Threat Assessment Management Team

Ingham ISD has established a Behavior Threat Assessment Management (BTAM) Team made up of school counselors, social workers, mental health specialists and administrators. BTAM is a tool used to prevent someone who is on the pathway to violence from committing actual acts of violence. The primary purpose of a threat assessment is to minimize the risk of targeted violence at school and create a process for identifying, assessing and managing students who pose a threat as set forth by the National Threat Assessment Center.

Ingham ISD’s BTAM team members include:

• Mark Collins, School Social Worker
• Noelle Duvall, Director of Mental Health & Wellness
• Erin Falsetta-Petkovski, School Counselor
• Pam Kunkel-Chappell, School Counselor
• Denise Lycos, Administrator
