Jim Dalton Assistant Superintendent, Cabot School District said about the training:

"Have you ever wondered if the student you spoke with is capable of committing a violent act as some have? We in our district decided almost 5 years ago to be proactive in this regard and initiated a program to aid us in identifying potentially dangerous students and differentiating between them and the more common pranksters. After training a small cadre of staff members 5 years ago in the use of this Nationally used Assessment Instrument, we now want to take the next step and certify our own staff Trainers to conduct this essential training with our new staff.

We have found this Assessment program to be very effective and believe that your school will benefit from it as well." *Other Recommendations
