School Safety and Emergency Planning Statement Released by Dr. Victor Ferry
Canton, CT (PRWEB) August 27, 2008 -- Victor H. Ferry, PhD, a noted school safety and emergency planning expert, today released a statement addressing the issues of school security, emergency planning and crisis response.
"Leading-edge educator training paradigms now include the notion that practices promoting student safety and welfare supersede all other educator responsibilities. While the education of America's young is still the primary function of its schools and education systems, the past decade has notably brought to light the need for increased educator training in school safety, security and emergency management. Gone are the days when educators were allowed to handle threats to student body safety and security, yet few educator training programs or states include required course work in this topic as part of pre-service training or educator certification," said Dr. Ferry.
He continued, "The America School Safety Crisis Response Kit® (CRK) offers a compact method to satisfy this need and to build partnerships with professionals whose day-to-day vocation is the safety and welfare of society. It presents a ready-made safety/crisis preparation kit; a prevention and response plan based on active, successful models, and provides a template for customizing a comprehensive school safety, security and emergency response program in cooperation with local and state officials. Designed by experienced educators and licensed security professionals, its recommendations were developed in concert with Homeland Security publications regarding policies, regulations, practices and training components. In brief, the America School Safety Crisis Response Kit® provides an uncomplicated, logical and common sense approach to school crisis planning and response."
