This consortium effort provides trained personnel to assist districts in the event of crisis situations. The goal is to help the school meet the needs of students and staff and to return to a state of normalcy as soon as possible.
In the event of a crisis, the district makes one phone call to The Service Center personnel, day or night, and the coordinator assesses the number of team members needed, what areas of expertise are needed, and activates a team. With permission of member superintendents, trained personnel are released to respond to the crisis. Trained team members arrive ready to provide whatever assistance is needed, including counseling with students and staff, drafting statements for the media, networking with agencies and substituting in the classroom.
This program provides unlimited registrations from each district for two training sessions. Topics include Baseline Training in Crisis Interventions, Nuts & Bolts of the Crisis Plan, and Dealing With the Media.
Non-Member Districts may join the Crisis Network.
