K-12 administrators, such as district superintendents, school principals, and assistant principals, must support and engage in emergency management planning in order to develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive school emergency operations plans (EOPs). Engaging school administrators is crucial because their involvement is essential to elevating emergency management to a high priority at every school system level, administrative department, and school building. Administrator engagement also will lead to greater involvement of teachers and other school-based staff members. This fact sheet intends to provide school and school district staff, teachers, and school safety leaders with information and strategies to engage administrators in this important work.
