Last Chance to Suggest Emergency Response Team Members
CAS is in the process of creating an Emergency Response Team to support schools in the event of a crisis situation that transcends a district's capacity to manage effectively. This team would be deployed in the same manner that the Red Cross, law enforcement and mental health teams are deployed. The team’s sole task would be to provide support and guidance for principals and other building leaders. We are soliciting your assistance in selecting potential members of the CAS Emergency Response Team by identifying active and retired administrators who might serve. Please click on the link below to complete a 3-question survey. This will take no more than 2 minutes of your time.
