The Keys' approach is based on practical means that can be implemented with major budget changes. Rather being anti-bully, Keys' program, Bullying Stops When Respect Begins, is aimed at the systems that allow bullying to flourish, The Bully, The Victim, The School, The Parents, and the largest of all The Standby and Do Nothings. Each of these is provided exercises and techniques to help break the cycle.
If your school is trying to meet a legislative
mandate or otherwise develop Policy or Programs on Bullying, contact Keys

Tips
for Students:
What You Can Do
About Violence in Your School Always
remember, It is your school! Stand up for
what you know is right. Join together
with other students to develop ways to make your school safer. Try to work
things out at the student-to-student level, but do no hesitate to seek
help from a teacher or SRO when situations are dangerous. Encourage you
school to obtain training to counter the violence and bullying in your
school. Involve your
parents and other adults that you trust. Always
remember, the good students out number the bad ones. ----------------------------------

Crisis
Drill: Student/Parent
Re-unification
The Crisis is over. The Fire Engines and Ambulances are returning to their
stations. The Police are finishing up their reports. The students can now
all go home. There is only one small problem. The students were all
evacuated to a nearby church. Parents and concerned extended family
members are pouring into the school, clogging the roads, walking around
the church calling their children's names. How do you make sure that
children find the right parents; are grandparents permitted to take the
student;
Often turning loose of the tiger is more difficult than taking hold
of it. Working
with schools for many years, Keys has observed a great deal of difference
between what has been planned and what actually happens. The best way to
avoid the unexpected chaos is to practice. The first drill or practice
should be the Emergency/Crisis Response Team only. That is, those who will be charged with
this portion of the Emergency Operations Plan. The procedures should be walked through
to determine possible holes. Then practice with the staff only during a
staff development day when no students are present. Finally, practice with
the students. You might consider making certain students part of your
Emergency/Crisis Team and using them to assist in this operation. Every successful
athletic team plans, practices, refines and practices again. Emergency/Crisis
Response Teams
are no different. As with
athletic teams, Coaches are essential to success. Contact Keys for help in learning
how to set up effective
Table Top,
Command Post and Full
Crisis Plan Exercises.
