Details
The REMS TA Center hosted a webinar to highlight the role superintendents play in preventing, protecting the school community from, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from threats and hazards. During this webinar, presenters demonstrated the importance of developing a collaborative planning team to support emergency operations plan (EOP) development, as outlined in Step 1 of the six-step planning process detailed in the Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans. They discussed the ways superintendents can contribute to EOP development and ensure school safety, security, emergency management, and preparedness. Additionally, presenters shared relevant resources to be used by superintendents and core planning teams.
Presenters for this webinar were Dr. Jeff Collum, superintendent of Conway Public Schools in AR; Dr. Tiffany Nix, assistant superintendent at Penn-Trafford School District in PA; and Janelle Williams, project director at the REMS TA Center. The presentation concluded with a question-and-answer session.
The U.S. Department of Education and its REMS TA Center hosted this webinar to provide K-12 schools, school districts, regional education agencies, state education agencies, and their community partners with information on how to collaborate with superintendents on emergency management planning. The live webinar offered opportunities to respond to individual and unique questions from stakeholders and practitioners, and the archived webinar serves as a resource to help education agencies collaborate with superintendents on school safety, security, emergency management, and preparedness.
