Jim Spicuzza, the president and CEO of
CrisisGo, said he understands many school districts
are short of staff and the training sessions are
designed to help streamline the conversion
process.
"School districts, especially the smaller ones,
may face a manpower challenge to convert their
existing emergency plan into actionable steps that
the staff can actually use during a crisis,” Spicuzza
said. “During this workshop we will guide the
attendees through the process and start them down
the path of making their emergency plan actionable.
Working with other districts will allow greater
collaboration."
The training session is free of charge and no
purchase of the CrisisGo app is required to attend.
However, space is limited and a reservation is
required by Friday, January 10. You may register
for the session at Marion or request a training
session in your region by email at
r by contacting Rebecca
Renshaw at 618-997-2114.
