Dealing with Crises: One Principal's Experience.
Foley, Charles F.
NASSP Bulletin, v70 n494 p46-51 Dec 1986
The principal of Concord High School (New Hampshire) recounts the 1985-86 school year's four crises--the visits of teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe and Secretary of Education William Bennett, the shooting of a former student, and the Challenger space shuttle explosion. The greatest challenge was resuming the normal schedule and fielding media pressures. (MLH)
