The District recognizes that schools can be very much affected by tragic events that occur to persons within the school and the community. Tragic events, which constitute a crisis, are generally events such as accidents, deaths, and terminal illnesses. The common element of these events is a profound emotional impact on those close to the situation.
Tragic events have the potential to create a confusing, chaotic environment.
The District shall develop a document entitled School Crisis Intervention Guidelines , the purpose of which is to minimize confusion surrounding a tragic event, and to provide support from District Office. In the event of a crisis due to a tragic event, schools are expected to follow the guidelines contained within School Crisis Intervention Guidelines.
