\"\"Unexpected\u00a0Occurences<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you probably know, I am a New Yorker. That means that lately I\u2019ve been feeling cold, very cold<\/strong><\/em>. I yearn to go outside without layers of clothing, boots, scarves, and gloves. I\u2018m finding it challenging to appreciate the fleeting beauty of pristine snow falling because I know it will morph into piles of snow that need shoveling, slush, and traffic conditions. But as my mother-in-law always told me: you can\u2019t control the weather!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Those words made me think about other things that we can\u2019t control. I often advise people who are in varied states of anxiety or even panic about situations beyond their control, that they can control their reactions<\/strong><\/em>. But \u2013 as school administrators you can, in fact, assert control over unexpected potentially dangerous situations. You can prepare for emergencies.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Sure, you have your annual fire and student emergency cards. But how prepared are you? Are students, staff, and parents all familiar with your clearly articulated, comprehensive emergency plans?\u00a0A self-assessment is a good first step.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A meeting with a security professional may be a critical second step.<\/strong> <\/span>I asked Dr. Joshua Gleis co-founder and vice president of\u00a0<\/span>Slingshot Security, LLC<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>to share his five top tips for day schools, read on to learn more!<\/span><\/p>\n
