School Safety: Managing a Crisis Situation (Part 1)

Session Description:
How a school plans for and responds to a crisis can be crucial to determining the outcome of that situation. Knowing what to do and how to respond can help faculty and staff react consistently, quickly, and with the least amount of confusion and panic – all of which affords the greatest chance for a positive outcome. In part one of this two-part series, join Brent Maguire as he discusses the key components of crises response, along with the functions and various facets of each. You will also learn what your school should do immediately when responding to a crisis, how to implement a crisis plan, and suggestions for putting that plan into practice.
