This resource is designed to help schools preserve and enhance the educational mission in times of turmoil and prepare to the best of their ability to effectively respond to a crisis.

The document serves in three specific ways: 1) It encourages schools with existing plans to focus on critical elements of their plan that must be reassessed or updated in light of new threats and challenges. 2) For schools without a plan, the document serves as a springboard for the minimum preparation that must be undertaken now. 3) The document focuses on the need for school leaders to recognize and address the anxiety related to prolonged conflict, fear and uncertainty throughout the school community.
