In the aftermath of several tragic incidents of school violence, school administrators began focusing more directly on crisis management. Those who actually had to activate their plans often discovered that communication--with the media and with the general community--was one of the most challenging tasks they faced. In an effort to determine if progress was being made in their critical function, the author, as editor of the journal, contacted Kenneth Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services in Cleveland, Ohio. A recognized expert on school safety and security, he has worked directly with myriad districts and schools to conduct safety audits, to prepare crisis plans, and to actually deal with crisis situations. A transcript of a brief interview with Trump about crisis communication is presented.
