All District staff and students must be prepared to respond quickly and responsibly to critical incidents. A critical incident includes emergencies, disasters and other events which require emotional support. The Superintendent will develop and maintain a District-wide model emergency action plan. Each site will maintain a crisis response team consisting of (at a minimum) the principal, one certificated staff member, one classified staff member, and one parent whose child attends the school. Each site must have a plan which will be:
The Superintendent will consult with city and/or borough officials so that District and site plans may provide the best possible way of handling each situation and also provide for emergency communications systems between these officials and each District school. The Board will grant the use of school buildings, grounds and equipment to public agencies, including the American Red Cross, for mass care and welfare shelters during disasters or other emergencies affecting the public health and welfare. The Board will cooperate with such agencies in furnishing and maintaining whatever services the Board deems necessary to meet the community's needs. Disaster simulation exercises must be held annually at each school site and will demonstrate how safety procedures may be applied to various types of emergencies. The Board encourages all employees to become proficient in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Legal Reference: ALASKA STATUTES |
