Emergency and Disaster Preparedness
The Board recognizes the importance of being prepared for various types of emergencies, both natural and human, that could occur while school is in session. This necessitates the development of appropriate plans and procedures to deal with such emergencies at school facilities or involving school transportation. It is important that students, employees, and parents be knowledgeable about the various emergency plans and procedures and be prepared should such an emergency occur.
Development of Crisis Management Plan
The RISE Charter School will develop and maintain a Crisis Management Plan to act as a guide for Charter School Directors, administration, staff, students, parents, and community members to address potential crises in the Charter School.
The Crisis Management Plan will provide procedures for the Charter School, and will be used prior to, during, or after any emergency situation.
The Executive Director or designee shall be responsible for directing the development of a comprehensive Crisis Management Plan. This plan will be shared with representatives of local municipalities and appropriate emergency personnel. The Crisis Management Plan will be reviewed annually by the Crisis Management Committee, which shall include representatives of principals and site managers. The Crisis Management Plan will be maintained by the Executive Director. Each Charter School Administrator and site manager shall receive a copy of the Crisis Management Plan and shall provide in-service training on plan implementation.
The Charter School Crisis Management Plan serves as the foundation for the development, training, and implementation of individual site and program plans.
