As outlined in the "Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans (School Guide)" (ED571878), multidisciplinary planning teams--composed of school personnel and community partners--can develop a comprehensive school emergency operations plans (EOP) customized to the needs of the students, the staff, and the community that the school comprises. The "School Guide" and six-step planning process are for both private and public schools and allow for flexibility at the school level. Like public schools, private schools are susceptible to a wide range of threats and hazards, of which their core planning teams should be aware so that they address them in their EOP. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide considerations for private schools, including their administrators, core planning teams, and community partners, to incorporate in their emergency management planning efforts. This fact sheet presents challenges and considerations, points to consider when developing a school EOP, methods of engaging the community and promoting partnerships in emergency management planning, and resources.
