The Sexual Incident Response Committee (SIRC) model assesses students through a multi-disciplinary, multi-stage assessment (Level 1 & Level 2) and intervention system. The SIRC model builds on the inherent strengths that are aligned with existing Student Threat Assessment Programs. The SIRC model fosters partnerships and shared responsibility with key community agencies, facilitates increases in school and community safety, and aids in interventions with students and their families. SIRC looks to maximize school engagement through thoughtful use of community activities (when appropriate), and build on pro-social behaviors and relationships, resulting in resiliency in youth with an overarching goal of preventing further sexual harm in both school and the community. 

The Sexual Incident Response Committee (SIRC) uses the Salem-Keizer model to assess students through a multi-disciplinary, multi-stage assessment (Level 1 & Level 2) and intervention system. The SIRC model builds on the inherent strengths that are aligned with existing Student Threat Assessment Programs. Parallel to STAS teams, SIRC relies on the Level 1 protocol to assess concerns at the building level and triages need for greater expertise (Level 2 Assessment) which maximizes the efficiency of district resources.

The SIRC model fosters partnerships and shared responsibility with key community agencies, facilitates increases in school and community safety, and aids in interventions with students and their families. Similar to the Student Threat Assessment System (STAS), SIRC looks to maximize school engagement, thoughtful use of community activities (when appropriate), and build on pro-social behaviors and relationships, resulting in resiliency in youth with an overarching goal of preventing further sexual harm in both school and the community.
