Each school system must look at its own resources in deciding how to organize crisis teams. Options include an in-building crisis team; a team consisting of a combination of in-building and central office or itinerant personnel; and a team composed of district personnel and non-district personnel. To test theoretical models, surprise crisis drills need to be conducted. The purpose of the drills is to ensure readiness in a crisis and to provide a learning experience for everyone involved. Crisis drills may be filmed and shown at the next principal's meeting for evaluation. As a result of these drills, a few ideas may surface that require implementation. These include developing guidelines for dealing with the media, improving intercom and emergency communication procedures within the school, and teaching CPR and first aid courses on every campus. Crisis drills need to become a regular part of school operations.
