School Safety and Crisis Management: Planning and Training for an Emergency (Part 1)

Session Description:
Does your school or district have an effective plan in the event of a school crisis, and if so, has the staff been well-trained in how to respond and implement that plan in the event of an emergency? Often the right planning and training can make a substantial difference in the outcome of a situation. Join Brent Maguire as he discusses how to develop and refine school crisis plans and emergency guidelines that can make your school better prepared. You will also learn what to consider when forming school crisis teams, including the roles of key members, and how to coordinate school emergency planning with police, fire, and other public safety agencies.
