Leading in Crisis Learning Arc
In 2026, Neubauer Fellows told PASL they needed a resource to help navigate crises in their schools. PASL brought together Senior Fellows, a team of six subject matter experts, and PASL staff to build one. Created by school leaders, for school leaders, the Toolkit complements existing emergency protocols with checklists, communication templates, and decision-making tools organized into four phases of crisis leadership: Before, During, After, and Recovery.
To help principals effectively leverage the Toolkit, PASL launched its in September with a full-day learning institute featuring Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel and Robert Runcie, former Superintendent of Broward County Public Schools.
