This study examined data from full- and part-time public school teachers who completed the Schools and Staffing Survey: Teacher Questionnaire (SASS TQ) and reported the number of threats and physical attacks occurring within 12 months. "T" tests were used to identify statistically significant differences between special education teachers and general education teachers on threats and attacks, as well as to compare special education teachers to general education teachers across 11 teaching areas identified by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Findings reveal that special education teachers were statistically significantly more likely to be threatened and attacked than their general education counterparts. The findings also indicated that both general and special education teachers are more likely to be threatened than attacked by students. Special educators voiced concerns about the lack of open discussion regarding student-on-teacher assaults and concerns about confidentiality, since educators who are not the teacher of record may not have information about prior assaults, leaving them vulnerable. Suggestions for preventing students-on-teacher threats and attacks are provided. Suggested resources for leaders are included.
