Abstract
This report serves as Deliverable 7: Collective Analysis, as tasked by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The primary goal of this effort was to review literature (both academic and practitioner-based) related to threats found in K-12 schools, and to validate findings from the literature with interviews with subject matter experts (SMEs). Interviews discussed threats and vulnerabilities SMEs face along with their needs for future risk assessments. This review provides insights within and across interviews from SMEs and resource coding, identifying common and emerging themes that schools experience. The findings will inform the development of a comprehensive K-12 risk assessment tool and future project milestones.
