Standardizing Student Support Across 11 Facilities

Novi Community School District needed a consistent way to document, review, and respond to student wellbeing concerns across its 11 facilities. Before Raptor StudentSafe, assessments and records lacked a consistent behavioral threat assessment (BTA) or suicide risk assessment methodology. Additionally, records were often stored in multiple places, making collaboration and data sharing more difficult for staff supporting students across campuses.

How Raptor StudentSafe Supported Consistent, Evidence-Based Processes

StudentSafe helped Novi Community Schools centralize documentation and align district teams around consistent BTA and suicide risk assessment workflows.

With StudentSafe, Novi Community Schools could

  • build C-STAG and C-SSRS definitions directly into assessment forms
  • customize forms for parent interviews and district-specific documentation needs
  • securely share assessments, follow-up records, and tasks with crisis response team members
  • customize workflows for state-mandated seclusion and restraint reporting

A Clearer View of Student Safety and Wellbeing

Novi Community Schools now has district-level visibility into threat assessments, suicide risk assessments, and seclusion and restraint incidents. District leaders can identify trends, review open cases, and provide guidance to staff without digging through manual paperwork or traveling between campuses.

“People are not hesitant to collaborate anymore,” says Dennis Huisman, Supervisor of Safety and Security at Novi Community School District, “Because they have a tool that makes it easy in these sensitive, high stress situations.”
