Policy: EBC
Crisis Prevention and Response
The Superintendent shall establish an advisory committee to
develop a Crisis Prevention and Response Plan. The Board recognizes
that schools are subject to a number of potentially dangerous
events, such as natural disasters, industrial accidents, acts
of terrorism, and other violent events. No school is immune
from these events no matter the size or location. The Board
is committed to the prevention of these events, to the extent
possible, in the school and at school-sponsored activities.
Board Policy EBCA and Procedure EBCA-R contain provisions
related to Emergency Response Plans. The committee will review
school district programs and activities, assess the district’s
security and safety needs, and review Board policies, administrative
regulations, response plans, and procedures.
The Superintendent will develop an administrative regulation
that ensures the effective development and implementation
of the district’s plan.
