The district will have and implement as needed a comprehensive emergency response/crisis management plan that focuses on time-limited, problem-focused interventions to identify, confront and resolve crises, restore equilibrium, and support appropriate adaptive responses.

Each school will have an individual emergency response/crisis management plan aligned with the district plan and designed to address the uniqueness of that school.

Each school and facility will have a crisis response team to implement appropriate action from the crisis management plan.

Each school and facility may determine to provide access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). AED devices purchased for use in Shelby County Schools by emergency response team responders and SCS personnel must be pre-approved. Donated equipment must also meet the specifications provided by the system.

AEDs will be placed in a prominent location, for timely access by the designated members of the emergency response team who have volunteered to be trained in the operation of AED and CPR. The AED/CPR procedures and names of the trained responders must be listed in the school and system emergency plans.
