Policy 803 - Crisis Management

The purpose of this policy is to set forth the expectation that the district will develop a suitable crisis management plan for the district and individual schools/sites.

The School Board holds as one of its primary responsibilities the provision of a safe and secure environment for students, staff, parents, volunteers, community members, and visitors. The School Board is keenly aware that crisis situations may arise at any time and considers it to be
of utmost importance to be prepared to address a wide range of potential crisis situations. Significant planning and preventive services are the first step in avoiding crises.

Therefore, the Superintendent is directed to develop a Crisis Management Plan, which will include the establishment of a District Safety and Security Committee, a District Emergency Response Team and building Crisis Teams to advise on appropriate steps to prevent, resolve, or ameliorate crisis situations on a district and individual school building level.
