4) Nettleton Public Schools Crisis Manual

Great guide to follow as a crisis response plan. There was a lot of thought that went into the manual and is one of the best I've seen. The crisis manual was created in response to the Jonesboro incident. A plan of this caliber should be a must for every school district.
