Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis - Clarence Johnson - Bog

My book, Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis is intended to motivate principals, teachers, students, and all school stakeholders to achieve the highest level of success in safety in public schools in America. It is organized for principals, policer officers, parents, students, teachers, superintendents, school board members, and politicians to use as a tool to improve safety and eliminate the violent acts of the school shooter in public schools.
The organization and framework of this book is based on a true story of a safe and secure schools director who supervised 74 campuses and 60,000 students for 11 years. I saw many facets of school safety and prevention methods prior to my assignment as safe and secure schools director. I speak from a knowledge base of 47 years of service in public schools.
This book, Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase at the high school level and elementary level. Building a safe learning environment for our students is a top priority! Many challenges still exist and will continue to exist during this violent era in public education in America. We as parents, community leaders, educators, and first responders will face this dilemma together and develop a security system that will allow peace and harmony during time students are on campuses in our public schools.
The purpose of this book is to share my views on keys to building an effective campus security system. As director of safe and secure schools for a large urban public school district for 11 years, I had the opportunity to research school security standards, attend safety staff development, seminars, observe "best practices" in surrounding school districts, develop, and implement a school district crisis management plan. We know as educators to put in place the best safety plan for our students and teachers. My book will summarize key components of building an effective campus security system.
Managing Critical Seconds Before a School Crisis is designed to raise the hope and dreams of all high school and elementary school students who need to believe that accepting a challenge to be the best is only possible when hard work is applied correctly and in a timely manner. This book will recommend that we strictly enforce security and directions in every phase of school safety. The average elementary and junior high reader will have the opportunity to read this book and understand the path of a safe and secure learning environment.
