Reunification Plans for Schools
Thurs. Nov. 21st @ 10:30-11:30 a.m. Central
Register here: https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/384218335

Join retired police officer, School Resource Officer, and School Safety expert, Gary Sigrist, Jr. as he discusses reunification plans for schools. Many schools prepare for emergencies, but many are not prepared for the reunification that happens following an emergency. Reunification occurs when events at the school or in the neighborhood demand students are physically returned to parents. In the event of criminal activity, injury or death, additional time may be needed for law enforcement interviews or crisis counseling.

Attendees of this webinar will learn:

  • How to choose a reunification site
  • How to manage the reunification process
  • Where to direct parents who come to pick their children up
  • Who's allowed to pick students up
  • Where to stage students
  • How to reduce parents' drama and anxiety
  • What to anticipate regarding medical issues
