When a student collapsed during a basketball game, the school nurse, coaches, and administrators responded within minutes. Parents were informed, and an ambulance was called immediately. The student was provided with medical attention in time. What appeared to be seamless was not chance, but the outcome of a properly designed student crisis plan.
A student crisis plan provides schools with a guideline to respond promptly in case of an emergency, be it a medical incident, natural disaster, or behavioral incident. Each person understands his or her role, there is no confusion, and communication is clear. More to the point, it instills confidence in students, staff, and families that safety is not a chance.
