SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PRAIRIE FARM CRISIS PLAN
INTRODUCTION
A safe learning environment is an expectation of staff, students, parents, and the community. In order to establish and maintain a safe environment, administration and staff must be prepared to appropriately and effectively respond to a crisis situation.
Since a crisis frequently happens suddenly and without warning, the result can often be ambiguity, confusion, and pressure. Therefore, the best preparation for dealing with a crisis is to have a plan in place to guide administration and staff through the crisis and help them take a coordinated approach. The School District of Prairie Farm put together this Crisis Response Plan to provide a ready resource for building administration and staff. Although each situation will be different, a basic structure and organization should be provided.
It is hoped that this plan will never need to be used. If needed, however, it will provide a framework and source of ideas for administration and staff. Its primary purpose is to provide suggestions that will serve as important reminders during times when decisions must be made quickly.
1
CRISIS COMMUNICATION
The School District of Prairie Farm believes that honest, open and timely communication during a crisis is an essential ingredient of an ongoing program of two-way communications between the school system and its internal and external public.
A crisis, as referred to in this context, refers to any unusual action, activity or incident which could reasonably attract the attention or involvement of law enforcement agencies and/or health officials and/or representatives of the news media. Examples would include, but are not limited to, situations such as criminal activities involving students, staff or board members; physical injury to students or staff; and the outbreak of communicable diseases on a school campus.
School employees having knowledge of a crisis will, immediately upon learning of the crisis, contact their immediate supervisor. The school employee with the most information about the crisis will describe the nature of the crisis and all details which are known at the time of notification.
Principals are responsible for notifying the District Administrator of any crisis that occurs in their building. In addition, the principals will appoint a designee to accomplish this task in the event of their absence from the building at such times a crisis occurs.
After notification of a crisis has been accomplished, it will be the responsibility of the District Administrator or his/her designee, to coordinate and direct all internal and external communication regarding the crisis.

SCHOOL SAFETY RESPONSE PLAN
Schools must be prepared to respond to a crisis in an organized and timely manner. A crisis is an event that is extraordinary and, therefore, cannot be predicted or necessarily prevented. Crisis situations are caused by specific events such as severe weather conditions, a fire or explosion, willful violence, a serious bus accident, or a bomb threat.
School emergencies can be small and easily managed or they can be large and difficult to manage. Every school crisis, however large or small, must be managed in a way that ensures the safety of all those involved. In order to provide a safe and secure environment, in which teachers can teach and students can learn, the School District of Prairie Farm’s personnel must plan for management of crisis or emergency events that cannot be predicted or prevented. Appropriate planning and management on the part of our school administrators and staff can provide for the anticipated needs of those involved and can reduce or eliminate the negative consequences of emergency situations.
To effectively handle a crisis or emergency, an appropriate School Safety Response Plan has been developed and a Crisis Response Team has been organized for the School District of Prairie Farm. These guidelines shall be followed for immediate, planned action and long term post-crisis intervention in the event of an emergency situation that threatens the health and safety of students, staff and others at school.

CRISIS COUNSELING TIPS
1. Students and staff will need time to process their feelings before they can be expected to resume their ‘normal’ activities.
2. Students in crisis are at high risk for harming themselves or may harm others in a volatile situation or confrontation.
3. It is important to reassure students and staff that their experiences and feelings are normal reactions to an abnormal situation.
4. Once rapport has been established, counseling should focus on helping students and staff identify ways in which they can learn to deal more effectively with stress, and constructive actions they can take to process feelings, such as anger.
5 Feelings of helplessness can lead to serious depression, so it is critical that the students and staff begin to take action and exert control over their lives.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
In the event of a crisis, there shall be one spokesperson for the district, and that spokesperson shall be the District Administrator or his/her designee. The spokesperson shall state the following:
location
type of incident
when it occurred
why it happened (if possible)
who is involved
Names of all injured people are to be withheld until proper notifications have been made.
School officials will be prepared to respond to:
students
staff
parents
media
the community at large
Statements are to be released only when the facts are absolutely accurate and the school district’s legal position is clear.
As soon as possible, all employees should be given information about what is happening and what their responsibilities are.
If a crisis occurs outside of school hours, a staff meeting will be held prior to students arrival the following school day. The telephone chain may be used to inform staff of the meeting time. If a crisis occurs during the school day, a staff meeting will be scheduled as soon as possible.
