Section 1500.30

To ensure that designated areas for assembling are appropriate to the type of incident to which the drill applies; that they are used by all students, staff, and visitors; and that the controls in place permit accounting for all the building's occupants. (Each drill is to test the preparedness of students and staff to remain in the areas where they have been directed to assemble; the confidence with which the building's occupants can be accounted for; and the reliability of determining whether any search or rescue activity is necessary.)

To ensure that the system for communicating with responding agencies provides timely and complete information about the nature, scope, and current status of the emergency situation and about the status of all the building's occupants, whether evacuated or sheltering in place. (Each drill is to test the ability of students and staff to provide necessary information to first responders in an emergency of the type to which the drill applies.)

Each drill conducted pursuant to the Act shall be designed to fulfill the objectives discussed in this Section.

1) When evacuation is called for, to ensure that evacuation of the building and adjacent areas is complete; that alternate exit routes are used if primary routes are obstructed; and that individuals with physical impairments reach safe areas. (Each drill is to test whether and how quickly a building's occupants vacate it in an orderly and safe manner, regardless of any obstructions encountered, and whether staff is prepared to provide assistance effectively to those who are unable to evacuate on their own.)

To ensure that all students, staff members, first responders, and visitors, both inside and outside the school building, are alerted to the fact that an emergency exists; receive adequate instructions on how to proceed, including supplemental instructions from first responders; and respond appropriately to the directions given. (Each drill is to test whether the notification system and those operating it are prepared to provide emergency notification and appropriate direction to everyone on the property, based on the emergency conditions that exist, and whether those present respond accordingly.)

Assess the crisis. ● What must be done immediately to protect lives? ● Different kinds of crises will require different kinds of responses. Should the school go on lockdown, evacuate immediately, or close off areas of the building or grounds? ● Are people injured? ● Is medical attention needed? 2. Call for assistance. ● Contact police and fire/rescue agencies. ● Contact leadership and the crisis team at the district central office. ● Have alternative communication plans in case cell service is unavailable. Psychological and Emotional Recovery Team The purpose of the team is to: ● Assist with coping and understanding of reactions to danger and traumatic stress. ● Support the emotional stabilization of students, teachers, and parents, and restore psychological security ● Restore a safe and effective learning environment and help schools return to learning as quickly as possible. Psychological and Emotional Recovery Team (PERT) The team is made up of Social Workers, School Psychologists, and administration.

The team can provide support to schools to help manage and address the emotional impact of a crisis.

• This team can also provide support to a school when invited by a Principal or when directed by the

• Provide training to Crisis Response Intervention Team members

STAFF STRATEGIES: GRIEF AND CRISIS

● Be sure that students are familiar with the availability and location of the crisis team members

The PERT members are available to:

• Consult with School Crisis Teams to develop a plan for crisis recovery

DO’S OF DEALING WITH THE CRISIS

● Be supportive ● Stay calm. Listen and help the person express their feelings. Let students know they are not alone, and help is available

• Triage emotional needs of students and staff

• Support parents in addressing concerns about their children

• Provide linkages to resources in the community

The Crisis Response Intervention Team will decide if the Psychological and Emotional Recovery Team is needed. The decision is made by the School Administrator in conjunction with the Superintendent and School Crisis Recovery team leader. The PERT will provide different types of assistance depending on the nature of the emergency or crisis. The team provides support from individual crises to school wide emergencies. In the event of a large scale crisis that would overwhelm district resources, the Psychological and Emotional Recovery Team will collaborate with community, city, and state agencies for support. The PERT and Student Support Services Coordinator, in conjunction with the appropriate School Administrator, would coordinate these services. The PERT meets with the Superintendent or designee, School Administration, and the school crisis team to plan for the response to the Crisis. Each response is tailored to the needs of the school. The team assesses the severity and impact the situation has on the school and its community. The team provides support, assistance with tracking students, anniversary responses, and updates. Communication is critical in times of response. The team is often communicating with all schools and/or community agencies that would be impacted by the event.

• Work with individual students/groups of students when needed

● Be aware of your feelings about death and suicide

GENERAL DONTS ● Don’t deny or minimize the severity of the person’s problem or his/her reaction

• Provide ongoing consultation to the CRIT on anniversary dates or if the crisis is ongoing Deciding if the Psychological and Emotional Recovery Team support is needed

Superintendent or Superintendent designee.

• Assist teachers and staff in notifying students of the crisis

● Don’t lecture or preach

● Teachers may want to attempt or encourage additional tutoring.

● Don’t be judgmental ● Don’t get overly involved or attempt to do therapy

● Teachers should keep a list of crisis management team members so they are aware of who comprises the team.

● Teachers should allow for physical concerns like more frequent trips to the school nurse. They may be a nonverbal way of expressing feelings.

● Don’t hesitate to send a troubled student to the crisis team for help IF YOU BECOME AWARE THAT A STUDENT HAS EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE IN THE PAST:

● After the formal statement has been read to a class, teachers will want to allow some time for students to discuss how they feel. Teachers are encouraged to express acceptance of the student’s feelings and to show them that they care and are willing to become involved in helping students cope with strong feelings around the crisis at hand. The goal is not to provide treatment or to function as a therapist, but rather to intervene at a time of heightened emotions. Each staff members’ purpose will be to identify students who are particularly distressed and to connect them with the help they need by directing them in a compassionate and caring way to a member of the crisis management team. Remember, it is always safer to refer any student you have a question about.

● Teachers should give permission to grieve and provide them an atmosphere, which encourages the expression of all reactions to the event. Even unusual ones like laughing is a fear reaction. Staff should validate others’ feelings.

TEACHERS:

Tell the student that you learned that “your mom died two years ago.'' Making a direct statement establishes your concern and immediately removes an emotional barrier. The child will know you are sensitive to his/her loss. You can then talk with the child about what you can do to make things easier. Be sure the child meets with the social worker. Many children re grieve, especially when the death occurred during the previous developmental stage.

● The rescheduling of any impending stressful academic exercises or tests may need to be considered. The Principal will determine any delays in major requirements such as final exams.

● Teachers should review procedures for making a referral from classes to designated crisis station rooms and the time availability of counselors. Students should be dismissed only in accordance with pre planned protocol.

More strategies to help with GRIEF

5. To compensate for their grief or for the chaos at home, some grieving children become overly conscientious about schoolwork. They want to make the dead loved one proud and will go overboard to please. Such a child puts him/herself under debilitating stress. Do what you can to relax them.

7. If you see signs of severe stress, inform the parents and the social worker.

4. Use contracts with flexible deadlines. If possible, hold off on all grades for a month or so. Remind the child that you know it is going to be difficult and that you want to help.

8. Don’t be misled by a grieving child who jokes about the funeral or anything else associated with death. Children cope differently when grieving.

● Any of the traumatic circumstances (accidents, suicides, bomb threats, riots, tornadoes, etc.), which may affect the school community, may trigger an already depressed youth to behave in a dangerous and possibly self destructive way. Once again, you are not being asked to diagnose a student’s condition, but to identify students who may be in need of help and to direct them to helping professionals on the crisis management team.

9. The social worker or designee should reach out to any student dealing with a death if the student/family wants to receive social work services.

2. Have the class make cards or write notes to the grieving child before he/she returns to 3.school.Ease up on expectations for a period of time. Some children do relatively well academically during a grieving period for a number of reasons. Others fall apart and are unable to concentrate long enough to complete a simple assignment

1. Ask the family what information you can share with the class about the death. Prepare the class before the grieving child returns to the school setting. Discuss death, experiences other class members have had with death, and brainstorm about what are appropriate and inappropriate things to say to their classmate. The goal is to increase sensitivity to the grieving child.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Plan -

Brookwood

Creative expression is a MUST for grieving children. The process of creating gives a private place for the child to go when emotions are out of control (psychologist, social worker, nurse). Discuss this privately with the student as part of a plan for escape. Think of a signal between the two of you.

3. Provide

2. Remove

14. Make straightforward statements and use direct words when speaking to grieving children. Some alternatives: Refrain from saying “I’m sorry” as that can make the individual feel uncomfortable. Instead try: “I can only imagine how you’re feeling.” “Tell me about your brother who passed away.” “How are you today”

16. Don’t ever minimize grieving to a child in an attempt to rescue him/her or fix the situation. Respect his/her feelings, LISTEN, and care.

17. Be a friend. Grieving parents are generally unable to help their children because of their own feelings. Children heal best WHEN THEIR TEACHER IS INVOLVED IN THE and stories about death and grieving deal with the subject in an impersonal way. They can help the grieving child and the class. School District 167 A STUDENT OR STAFF Contact the office immediately (intercom, room phone, cell phone, or send a student) all students from the area or room if possible emergency first aid only if the situation is critical (see below) individual until the administration, nurse (health clerk), or other emergency about the situation to students, parents or the media Prevention Know the location of first-aid kits automated external defibrillators hallways

Some of the following suggestions may help alleviate the emotional pain associated with a traumatic event. These are not complete listings, but many of these helpful hints may be beneficial for you to try.

9. Be observant for unusual reactions and refer for further intervention.

2. This is a classroom discussion, not a therapy session.

The following are some thoughts the discussion leader may want to keep in mind when discussing the events in the classroom:

GENERAL CLASSROOM DISCUSSION GUIDE REGARDING CRISIS ISSUES

It is appropriate to ask, “How many of you have had a chance to talk about this today?” “How do you feel about what happened?” Those students who prefer not to discuss the event may be given permission to move to the rear of the classroom.

3. Project confidence, calmness, firmness, encouragement, and reassurance.

5. Allow students to express concerns and feelings. Acknowledge that a wide variety of feelings are normal and may vary among the students. These feelings may change rapidly.

8. The discussion leader may see overt signs of grief for the next few days. This is normal and acceptable.

1. Be sensitive to the fact that many in the class may have discussed the tragedy earlier in the day.

6. Minimize any judgmental remarks. Refocus the discussion toward problem solving and better ways of coping.

4. Focus attention to the venting of feelings and maintain a non judgmental attitude.

SOME SUGGESTIONS

Symptoms that remain severe or last longer than six weeks may indicate that the traumatized person may need professional counseling.

FOR YOURSELF Try to rest a bit more. Contact friends, reach out, and spend time with others. Have someone stay with you for at least a few hours for a day or so.

24 708 596 6046 (708) 955 3751 1023

7. Redirect destructive expressions of anger, “Anger is one of many responses people tend to have in these kinds of situations,” “What do you do when you’re angry?” or “ I wonder what other feelings people are having now?”

Talk to people who love you. Find a good counselor if the feelings become prolonged or too intense.

FOR FAMILY MEMBERS & FRIENDS

permission to feel rotten and share your feelings with others. Oftentimes it just takes one person to open up in front of others before they can share many similar feelings. Take a chance. Consider keeping a journal. Write your way through those sleepless hours. Do things that feel good to you. Realize those around you are under stress. Don’t make any big life changes or purchases. Do make as many daily decisions as possible that will give you a feeling of control over your own life.

Recurring thoughts, dreams or flashbacks are normal don’t try to fight them they will decrease over time and become less painful. Maintain as normal a schedule as possible. Eat well balanced and regular meals (even when you don’t feel like it). Try to keep a reasonable level of activity Fight against boredom. Re establish a normal schedule as soon as possible. Express your feelings as they arise.

Within the first 24 48 hours, periods of strenuous physical exercise, alternated with relaxations will alleviate some of the physical reactions. Structure your time keeping busy within reasons. You are normal and having normal reactions so don’t label yourself “crazy”. Talk to people. Talking is the most healing medicine. Be aware of numbing the pain with overuse of any drugs or alcohol. Help your co-workers as much as possible by sharing feelings and checking how they themselves are Givedoing.yourself

Listen carefully. Spend time with the traumatized person. Offer your assistance and a listening ear even if they have not asked for your help. Reassure them they are safe. Help them with everyday tasks like cleaning, caring for the family, or preparing a meal. Give them some private time. Don’t take their anger or other feelings personally. Don’t tell them that they are “lucky it wasn’t a lot worse” … these statements do not console traumatized people. Instead, tell them you are sorry such an event has occurred and you understand and want to assist them.

Create an environment that feels safe to share in if the person chooses to talk about aspects of an incident that has happened. Be careful not to force an issue. Keep “curious questions” for your own self satisfaction in their appropriate place. A later time might be more beneficial to everyone.

The following may represent some statements/questions, which may facilitate better communications or could be used in crisis interventions.

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to make major schedule changes on someone else’s behalf. Another person’s physical presence, even though nothing may be said, can be comforting.

I’m not sure what the look on your face means. Can you explain it to me? I’d really like to know what you’re thinking about now. You seem to be angry. Would you like to talk to someone about it?

FACILITATING STATEMENTS

I really care about you. How can I help? It’s O.K. if you aren’t comfortable talking with me about the problems. Who can you talk to? You look really upset to me. Because I care about you, let me take you to talk to someone. Do you feel like crying? You seem to be hurting. Can you talk to me?

Don’t try to analyze the behaviors that may become apparent.

Acceptance and support are the key elements of providing comfort. Be sensitive to the fact that pre established routines sometimes help reorient the individual to prior functioning levels.

Don’t be afraid of silence. Companionship can be experienced as a form of support when people are silent together. A sensitive touch, a caring embrace or someone to sit quietly beside may also be supportive as individuals sift through some of their own issues. Understand that each person’s trauma is individual. People experience it and cope with its aftermath in different ways. Respect this.

Dear Parent or Guardian: We were informed today that we have a confirmed case of H1N1 (swine) influenza at Brookwood Jr. High School. With directives from the Illinois and Cook County Health Departments and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we continue to make every effort to limit cases of influenza A (H1N1) virus (swine flu). To ensure the safety of all of our students and staff, we are taking the following preventative measures: closely monitoring student and staff absences due to influenza like illness, aggressively excluding ill students and staff from school for the recommended 7-day period of time emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene and “cover your cough” etiquette.

3. Teach students best practices for hygiene (i.e. covering mouth when coughing or sneezing)

4. Send ill students immediately to the nurse

If you have any questions or would like further information about the H1N1 virus, please contact the Cook County Department of Public Health at (708) 449-2000 or visit Sincerely,www.cookcountypublichealth.org,SuperintendentExample: Covid-19

The symptoms of H1N1 virus are similar to the symptoms of the regular flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue.

Parent Letter

Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting. If you notice these symptoms in your child, please contact your doctor immediately. If your doctor believes that your child may have the H1N1 virus, be prepared to keep your child home from school for seven calendar days after the symptoms started. If your child is still sick after seven days, keep him/her home until completely well and showing no symptoms, for 24 hours.

If your doctor does not believe that your child has the H1N1 virus, our normal rules apply: 1) your child must be fever free for at least 24 hours, 2) you must have a note from a doctor, and 4) all medication given at school must have a written doctor’s order and be signed by a parent.

51 Threat Assessment

NEW SCHOOL LAW: THREAT ASSESSMENTS AND SCHOOL SECURITY

On August 26, 2019, Governor Pritzker signed House Bill 1561 which requires all school districts to implement a threat assessment procedure and create a threat assessment team, and expands the ability of school districts to pay the personnel costs of employees needed for school security purposes. The new law, enacted as Public Act 101 0455, amends a variety of statutes including the School Safety Drill Act (105 ILCS 128/1, et seq.), the School Code’s requirements for a levy for health/ life safety purposes (105 ILCS 5/17 2.11), and the Counties Code’s requirements for school facility occupation taxes (55 ILCS 5/5 1006.7). Under the Act, school districts must implement a threat assessment procedure no later than December 21, 2019 and form a “threat assessment team” no later than February 19, 2020. The threat assessment team must include a school district or special education cooperative employee serving the school district in each of the

Develop and Implement a Threat Assessment Program and Team - Team Members include: Social Worker, Teacher, School Psychologist, Special Education Director, Administrator, Police Chief The goal of the Behavioral Threat Assessment process is to identify students or staff who have exhibited behaviors indicative of potential problems, and to work with local school officials to help identify those behaviors, intervene and provide help to students or staff before they turn to violence. In situations where a threat of violence has been made or is

2. Information Sharing Between Schools and Law Enforcement

Anyone, including staff members and parents/guardians, who has information about actual or threatened bullying is encouraged to report it to the district complaint manager or any staff member. Anonymous reports are also accepted by phone call or in writing.

Nondiscrimination Coordinators: Bethany Lindsay and Lena Martinez (708) 758 5190

New Student Buddy Group- Each new student in Jr. High School is assigned a peer buddy and is placed on check in and check out with social workers to provide additional support as they transition into a new school.

Students are encouraged to immediately report bullying. A report may be made verbally or in writing to their building principal, nondiscrimination coordinator, district complaint manager, or any staff member with whom the student is comfortable speaking with. All school staff members are available for help with a bully or to make a report about bullying.

Brookwood School District 167 and the Glenwood Police Department have an Intergovernmental Agreement to share pertinent information to ensure law enforcement is aware of “clear and present danger” threats and school officials are aware of law enforcement information that is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student or individuals in question. “Clear and present danger” is defined as a person who demonstrates threatening physical or verbal behavior, such as violent, suicidal, or assaultive threats, actions, or other behavior, as determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner, school administrator, or law enforcement official.”

4. Student Reporting of Threats

imminent, school officials will immediately contact local law enforcement for assistance in determining if the threat is credible and police intervention is needed (Follow Flow Chart).

3. Information Sharing Between Schools Research indicates that a transition to a new school may create anxiety among students and pose greater school safety risks. Illinois School Code requires that a school district forward a transferring student’s school records to the transferee school district and utilize the ISBE Student Transfer Form. This form states whether the student’s medical records are up to date and whether the student is “in good standing.” Transferring schools need to indicate (within the past 3 years), any suspensions or expulsions and any successful interventions that may need to be continued at his/her new school.
