Bomb Threats Overview: This workshop is offered in two options and two configurations. One option is on-site training, the other is online professional development. On site training has two configurations. One is to train administrators and key building staff in a 1/2 day training. Those participants return to their sites and train building staff. The second configuration is for CMI to provide on-site training to all district staff. Online professional development also has two options. One is for the entire training to be taken online, with separate segments for different roles -- administrative, teaching, paraprofessional, custodial and so on. A more thorough application of that training is to open and close with an hour of video conferencing, allowing all district staff to take the online training between the two video conferencing sessions. Goals: This session does not provide direct answers, because each district and each event has variables. The first goal is to train all staff in the building search techniques that can greatly reduce out-of-building time when evacuation is called. The second goal is to help administrators and those in charge consider a broad range of variables to consider and options to try in the event of a bomb threat. Intended audience: All district staff, regardless of job description. Different levels of training depending on position, but all staff receive some level of training. Content: Building searches Decisions on evacuation Alternatives to evacuation Collaboration with your local law enforcement Prerequisites: None.
