Unit 5: Common Assessment on School Safety Part A

Due: Sat Sep 19, 2026 11:59pm

Part A: Crisis Response (NELP 6.1)

You are a principal of a public middle school in rural Mississippi. It is 3:30 pm on a Thursday in February.  School released at 3:05 pm and freezing rain began falling at 2:30 pm. 

The district’s central office administrative assistant just called and said she just received a report that Bus #10 has been involved in a crash.  Initial reports indicate the bus slid off of a gravel road into the ditch, then overturned.  She reminded you the superintendent went with the high school principal to a state training and was not answering her phone.

Questions:

1. What are the three most important considerations at this time?
2. How will you coordinate responding agencies?

Note: Use state and national resources to formulate your critique.
