This figure depicts response data from the following survey question: “Which person(s) are regular members of this BTAM team?” (n = 1,408).
Includes only those who said their school has a school- or district-level BTAM team.
Bars may not sum to totals because of rounding.
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
By far, the two most common members were principals and counselors (both 84 percent).
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
However, majorities of school BTAM teams also included other school administrators (69 percent), school-based law enforcement (53 percent), and social workers (50 percent).
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
Other individuals were also commonly included on BTAM teams, such as school psychologists (49 percent), instructional staff (45 percent), and special education specialists (43 percent).
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
District administrators were included on BTAM teams at 36 percent of schools, and 13 percent of schools included non-school-based law enforcement on their teams.
Principals’ responses indicate that BTAM teams are overwhelmingly composed of individuals internal to the school (i.e., who are on staff or are located at the school).
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
For example, 49 percent of schools had a psychologist on their BTAM teams.
Sample (N = 1408) · Schools with an official BTAM team (82 percent of sample)
The majority of schools with a psychologist on their teams indicated they had a psychologist on staff at school either full time or part time (43 percent of schools overall)
In another survey item, we asked principals which types of staff members they have at their school, including counselors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and law enforcement officers (see Appendix A, Table A.5).
If schools had these personnel on staff either part time or full time, we assumed that it was these internal personnel who would be those serving on the BTAM team.
In cases where schools told us that they did not have these individuals at their school but did have that role represented on their BTAM team, we presumed that role was played by individuals from outside the school.
We also assumed that some positions (e.g., school and district administrators, instructional staff, education specialists) are always internal to the school and that, by definition, non-school-based law enforcement personnel are always external to the school.
