Emergency Action Plans: Preparing for a School Crisis
Jolene Battitori; Kevin Walsh
Excellence in Education Journal, v12 n3 p79-96 2023
School principals are responsible for the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to their care. Parents expect their children to be safe and protected and that school leaders establish and maintain clear lines of communication during a time of crisis. Within their capacity as school leaders, it is incumbent on them to guarantee that school personnel are prepared and responsive in a manner that ensures student and staff safety. In practice, school principals and staff are often forced to assume the role as actual 'first responders' until other professional emergency responders from the community arrive. This paper highlights the importance for school principals to take a leadership role in ensuring that Emergency Action Plans (EAP) are clearly defined, communicated, reviewed, rehearsed, and revised. It focuses on Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL) 8, 9 and National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) National Education Leadership Preparation 5.3, 6.2, 6.3 standards.
