About the Book

The most effective leaders are accountable. School leaders: It's time to account for safety. When it comes to keeping our kids safe, we all have a role to play. This book was written for school leaders, those with ultimate responsibility, those who've been trusted with decisions, strategy, tactics, and risk. The Essential 5 is a field guide for senior-level school leaders who've seen enough in their careers to know that the best response to crises starts with preparedness and the ability to make informed decisions quickly while surrounded by chaos. The information, checklists, and guidance in this book will help facilitate a better response and recovery for your school community. There is no higher honor, no greater responsibility than protecting our most precious resources, our students and staff. The Essential 5 Field Guide is designed for superintendents and board members, offering crucial insights for managing crises that involve potential loss of life. It breaks down response times into four key periods: the first 5 minutes, the next 5 hours, the following 5 days, and the ongoing 5 weeks. It emphasizes that actions taken during these moments significantly impact community recovery for up to 5 years. In the first 5 minutes, immediate safety actions and clear communication are essential. This involves activating emergency protocols, notifying responders, and establishing a command center to prevent the spread of misinformation. The following 5 hours focus on strategic decision-making, where leaders implement response plans, collaborate with local agencies, and keep the community informed. Involving mental health professionals and community organizations is essential to support those affected. After 5 days, the focus shifts to stabilizing the situation, meeting immediate needs, and providing psychological support. Communication channels for updates and community feedback are essential during this time. Finally, the 5 weeks following a crisis focus on recovery and analyzing the response to enhance future protocols. Engaging the community during this phase promotes resilience and proactive emergency preparedness. The Essential 5 Field Guide is a practical handbook intended to assist in various emergencies by offering a quick reference for effectively managing high-pressure situations. For those interested in a more in-depth understanding, the expanded version of the Essential 5 book is highly recommended. It includes training modules, personal anecdotes, and valuable lessons learned, and is scheduled for release in the winter of 2026.
