will automatically need a substitute for the day. The substitute is there
to assist the teacher so the regular teacher can spend individual time
consoling students, going with the principal to visit parents, etc. This
is an especially important issue at the elementary level.]
Step Four:
Inform staff what announcement will be made to the students and
when the announcement will be made. (If possible, provide the
teachers with a typed copy of the announcement.)
Step Five:
Inform all staff members that any media presence or requests for
information should be immediately directed to the principal. (See
Appendix.
Step Six: Announce that a mandatory fifteen-minute faculty meeting will be
held after school to review the day's events. This allows an opportunity
to receive feedback from faculty, to answer questions, and to review
the next day's expectations. (At this meeting, be sure to get the names
of any other students the staff members feel are "high risk".)
Step Seven: Entertain questions from the staff and/or requests staff have at this
time.
