Summary: The policy expands the paragraph on the involvement of staff and community groups in plan development, consistent with the U.S. Department of Education recommendation. The policy also adds training on staff responsibilities in an emergency or disaster, clarifies staff's legal obligation to serve as disaster service workers, and clarifies that board members are not considered disaster service workers.

The regulation expands prevention strategies to include measures to increase the security of school facilities, expands crisis communications methods to include social media and electronic communications, and adds assembly of key information into a "crisis response box" that can be easily accessed in an emergency.
