Policy 803-R Crisis Management Regulations

Pursuant to Board policy, the School District shall develop a Crisis Management Plan to respond to crisis situations. The Superintendent directs the following:

A. Crisis Definition
Any event which threatens the safety and security of students, staff and community members will be considered a crisis.

B. District Safety and Security Committee
The Superintendent shall maintain a District Safety and Security Committee whose responsibility is to advise the Superintendent on appropriate steps to deal effectively with crisis situations. The District Safety and Security Committee will develop an All Hazards Response Plan including specific procedures for a wide variety of emergencies that may arise. These procedures will be detailed in a District Emergency Procedure Manual. This manual will incorporate procedures for Lockdown, Hold, Secure, Shelter and Evacuate which follow the Standard Response Protocol from the I Luv U Guys Foundation.

C. District Response Team
The District has established a District Emergency Response Team to assist Building Crisis Teams in the event of an emergency at a district facility. The District Emergency Response Team provides additional support and resources in the event of a crisis situation.

D. Building Crisis Team
Each building has a Building Crisis Emergency Team to respond to an emergency situation at their building. The Building Crisis Teams utilize the District Emergency Procedure Manual to ensure a consistent, coordinated response to an emergency throughout the district. Information
regarding the Building Crisis Team shall be communicated to all employees

E. Review
The District Emergency Procedure Manual will be reviewed by the District Safety and Security Committee annually, or more frequently if needed. The District Safety and Security Committee will make recommendations for any potential modifications to the Superintendent.
Based on the Committee’s report and recommendations, the Superintendent will direct modifications or a reaffirmation of the District Emergency Response Plan and Procedure Manual for the following school year. District staff will receive annual district and building
updates, or reaffirmation on crisis procedures, by October 1 of each school year.
