In the event of the serious injury, death, or suicide of a student or staff member, several things will happen.
    • Administrators and crisis response leaders will assess the situation.
    • Staff members will be given accurate information and instructions on how to handle the students.
    • Depending upon the impact of the event, counselors from across the District will be available.
    • Administrators and crisis team leaders will keep the staff informed of what is known.
    • There may be a staff meeting before and/or after school to discuss what is happening.

Teachers should:
    • Assess lesson content for that day to be sure that there is nothing that would increase student anxiety or grief.
    • Let counselors know of any students or staff members who are having a particularly difficult time.
    • Increase the level of supervision so that students are not congregating in unsupervised areas or isolating themselves in restrooms, etc.
    • Let counselors know of students who have been in crisis prior to this event.
    • Be sensitive to student emotions and behaviors.
