Risk Response Manual

The purpose of this manual is to provide school personnel with a reference document to help minimize the impact and clarify the roles and responsibilities in the event of a crisis or a risk/threat to students and/or staff.

School principals are responsible for ensuring updated information is included in section 5 of this manual (Community Support Team and School Support Team charts) and regular reviews and updates are done for all documentation required in section 6.

Any changes will be copied to the Superintendent, annually in September.
